Daisy Coleman, a tattoo artist and sexual assault survivor who founded the nonprofit SafeBAE, has died by suicide at the age of 23, according to a Facebook post from her mother, Melinda Coleman, on Tuesday. “She was my best friend and amazing daughter,” Melinda wrote on Facebook. “I wish I could have taken the pain from her!” Coleman was featured in the 2016 Netlix documentary “Audrie and Daisy,” which followed the stories of Coleman and Audrie Pott (who died by suicide in 2012) after they were sexually assaulted as teenagers.
