Alyssa Funke was a straight-A student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, who committed suicide after being bullied and harassed online over her starring role in an adult video.
Local police decided not to press charges against those who taunted Funke through social media.
Funke, 19, had recently appeared in an adult film at the website CastingCouch-X. According to KMSP, after former classmates from her high school in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, discovered the video, they began sending her abusive messages through Twitter and Facebook.
Her last tweets before her death were on April 14 and 15, appearing to mock those harassing her online:
Pornstar Status. 👌

On April 16, Funke committed suicide on a boat, located at a boat landing on Big Carnelia Lake, 26 miles from River Falls and 9 miles from Oak Park Heights.
The teen killed herself with a single shotgun blast.
She spoke on the phone to her mother only minutes before pulling the trigger
and then sent a text after hanging up.
