The grief-stricken mother of Daisy Coleman has died by suicide just four months after her daughter took her own life.

Melinda Coleman died on Sunday evening in another tragic chapter in the family’s story.

SafeBae, a youth-led sexual assault prevention group created by Daisy, made the announcement to their Instagram page, where condolences quickly began to appear.

‘We are in shock and disbelief to share with our SafeBae family, that we lost Melinda Coleman to suicide this evening,’ the post read.

‘The bottomless grief of losing her husband, Tristan and Daisy was more than she could face most days.

‘Melinda was a gifted veterinarian, devoted mother and wife, and talented body builder. More than anything, she loved and believed in her children. It is no accident that she created some of the most gifted, passionate, and resilient children.

‘Our hearts are with Logan and Charlie. There are no words for our sadness, only that if you are struggling with trauma or depression, you are not alone.’

On August 5, 23-year-old Daisy committed suicide after being candid about her traumatic sexual assault in the 2016 Netflix documentary ‘Audrie & Daisy.’

Daisy’s body was discovered by authorities after her mother, Melinda, asked them to perform a welfare check.

Daisy died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while talking to her boyfriend on FaceTime. Melinda later confirmed her daughter’s death on social media.

Just hours before her death, Melinda posted a series of posts and pictures of Daisy to her Facebook page.

Melinda, who called Daisy her ‘best friend,’ revealed that her daughter’s death came after she discovered she would never be able to conceive.

Melinda told The Sun her daughter had been told by doctors weeks before her death.

 She also claims her daughter had a stalker who had been harassing her by text since December and who Daisy had filed a police report about just hours before she died.

‘It was two weeks ago, it feels like it’s been a really long time, and like it’s been no time at all, if that makes sense,’ Melinda told The Sun.

‘She was my best friend, and she would say the same, we talked every day. We were really close.

‘I really thought we were past this [her feeling suicidal], in my heart, but then she got hit with a lot of stuff recently.

‘She just found out weeks before that she couldn’t have children. She was very upset about that.’

She said doctors placed the blame on her ‘brutal’ rape when she was a 14-year-old.

‘That just shows how brutal it was, and they were trying to say it was consensual, that’s what really gets me.’
