Southern University cheerleader, Arlana Miller, who committed suicide, reportedly left a ‘farewell note’ on her Instagram account, before she took her own life.
On her Instagram account @Ianaawanaa, Miller, recounted how she “struggled” from being alone this year, dealing with COVID, tearing her ACL and nearly failing all of her classes.”
Miller’s Instagram post, which has since been removed, received more than 3,000 comments of concern and support.
It revealed heartbreaking details about how she had allegedly been dealing with the “urge” to take her life since her early teen years.
In it, she says in part, “I gave this life all the fight I had. To everyone who has entered my life I’m so grateful and I can only imagine how this may find you.”
She also said “to everyone I love, just remember that this is not your fault.”
Miller also wrote, “I know I’m about to let a lot of people down by what I’m about to do. But…truth is I’ve already let down so many people throughout my life and it just feels unbearable.”
To her mother, she said not to blame herself, adding “I’m at rest now…I’m happy in the water where everything is still.”
Miller was later found dead in the Mississippi River, after her family became concerned about her whereabouts.
