I was shocked to hear about the passing away of August Ames, which happened more than a year ago.
Also, I am a big fan of [Evil Angel director] Kevin Moore, love the content he is/was shooting, and have great respect towards him.
All I knew so far was that cyberbullying made her end her life, but haven't heard news about this sad story since..
A colleague of mine sent this over, it is a very interesting statement by Kevin Moore:
August Ames
"Note:
On January 10, we filed the first of several lawsuits related to Mercedes’ death. This suit was filed against the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office for releasing confidential and private information regarding her death. They are legally allowed to release documents associated with medical reports or public documents; however they may not publicly release details simply because the public finds them of interest. The suit alleges negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, internal infliction of emotional distress, and public disclosure of private fact.
