no warning sign
A recent investigation by the Civil Guard is examining the suicide of a teenage girl in Mallorca, a tragedy that occurred last Thursday near Llosaeta. The incident has prompted a formal response from local authorities and community groups who express their condolences to the family and peers affected by this loss.
Ben Amics, an association that supports LGBTI people and their families, issued a statement through social media. They note that the victim’s online profiles indicate a person who identified as female and who did not undergo a gender transition at the time of the events described. The group emphasizes that the young person defined herself as feminine and that the choice of identity was personal rather than a result of any clinical or social process.
Ben Amics calls on relevant administrations to clarify the circumstances surrounding the suicide, stressing that the speaker was a student and raising questions about what factors may have contributed to such a decision. The association also highlights ongoing support services available to LGBTI+ individuals, particularly those who have faced discrimination or violence based on sexual orientation or gender identity. They remind the public that a dedicated health ministry hotline exists for concerns about suicidal thoughts and behaviors, while noting the importance of access to professional support.
no warning sign
Public health authorities in the Balearic Islands confirm that there were no prior warning signals observed by the ministry or local coordinators. There was no record of explicit or imminent suicidal ideation before the events, though an encounter occurred at the school attended by the student, illustrating the complexity of vulnerability in the school environment. This underlines that warning signs can be subtle and that communities should stay vigilant for changes in behavior or mood among young people.
The mental health program in place is funded by family and survivor networks, along with government support, to assist families in crisis. The goal is to ensure both immediate well‑being and longer‑term emotional support for those affected by suicide within the school community.
Within the school setting, routine protocols guide how staff respond when a student dies by suicide or when there is a suicide risk. These protocols focus on safeguarding students, coordinating with the Autonomous Coordination of Suicide Prevention, and implementing measures to control contagion of distress among peers and staff. Emphasis is placed on continuing care, counseling, and clear communication with families while respecting the privacy of those affected.
