    This is a very tragic incident and no one except her family can understand the pain they are going through now. It is wrong for readers to speculate that it is a suicide or "self-suicide". And accidents happen at all ages.

    RIP....
    how she fall is not clear from article...
    there are few buildings either india or gulf. whose balcony or passage or terrace wall or support is not 100 percent safe.
    even many shopping malls the stair case also doesnt have much safer support .

    Very disturbed on hearing this news of the tragic untimely death of this teenager. May Almighty God grant her family the courage, solicitude, strength and grace to move on in their lives without their beloved one, Ashwathi. May the memories of Ashwathi comfort them always. I, as a parent, can understand their grief and share with them in their sorrow and pain. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family whose world turned upside down....Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
