Grieving Sister Fights to Expose Deadly Online Suicide Forum
14 Nov
Summary
- Aimee, 21, died by suicide after visiting a pro-suicide website
- Her sister Adele is calling for a public inquiry into the website
- The website is linked to at least 50 deaths in the UK
In October 2025, 21-year-old Aimee Walton tragically died by suicide in a hotel room in Berkshire. Her family was devastated to learn that Aimee had been visiting a pro-suicide website, where members encourage each other to take their own lives.
Aimee's older sister, Adele Zeynep Walton, is now on a mission to expose the website and have it shut down. Adele believes Aimee was "groomed" by the website and wants the inquest into her sister's death to recognize the pivotal role online harm played. The website, which is under investigation by the National Crime Agency, is linked to at least 50 deaths in the UK.
Adele is also calling for tighter regulations surrounding the purchase of the poison Aimee used, which is associated with at least 133 deaths in the UK since 2019. She wants paramedics to be equipped with an antidote that could have saved her sister's life if administered quickly enough.
The family's grief has been compounded by anger, as they feel Aimee did not receive the support she needed from mental health services. Adele is determined to honor her sister's memory by fighting to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
