Primary Contributing Factor to Jamie’s Death
Jamie’s death wasn’t caused solely by a medical overdose. Their isolation, cyberbullying, and repeated public humiliation led to emotional collapse. The diphenhydramine overdose was a complicating factor, not the root cause.
Who or What Was Most Responsible
Ashley Monroe leaked Jamie’s secret unintentionally; Tyler Cruz amplified the bullying. The school system also failed to intervene despite multiple warning signs (see staff and IT reports).
Leaked Private Information and How It Spread
Jamie’s personal identity and struggles were leaked after Ashley told Tyler, who turned it into a meme. It spread across group chats and school networks.
Final Trigger Event
The spread of the meme and the sensitive video clip (_deleted_story_2.mov) triggered Jamie’s emotional shutdown. Their complete withdrawal followed shortly after.
Key Pieces of Evidence
Key evidence includes:
- Jamie’s audio logs (especially AUDIO_2023_04 to 07)
- Survey showing high rates of cyberbullying
- Staff complaints about IT and administration inaction
- Chat screenshots showing Tyler and Ashley’s roles
- Coroner’s report listing overdose as inconclusive
