Not to trivialize her tragic death but this is one hell of an object lesson in letting a study run to completion before interpreting your data (if IG is to be believed, I guess): "Police say, at the time of her death, 69% voted for her to die. However, Instagram insists that the poll, which lasted 24-hours, ended with 88% of her followers choosing ‘L’."

Nearly every the vote that comes in after the victim is dead will be a sympathy vote. The people who vote for death are pretty much only going to vote before the suicide, and specifically in hopes of seeing it. After that, what's to vote for?
