Kayleight Scott, a transgender United Airlines flight attendant who was previously featured in a company video for Trans Day of Visibility, was found dead in her Denver apartment in an apparent suicide.
The Denver Police Department told the Los Angeles Blade an investigation is still ongoing, and a final determination as to the cause of death will be made by the Denver Medical Examiners Office.
Police were reportedly alerted when Ms Scotts followers on social media saw her posting potential references to suicide.
I was up all night and out of nowhere I saw a post by Kayleigh Scott with her last goodbyes on this earth, one person familiar with the posts told LGBTQ Nation. Many of us, just like myself, who couldnt sleep, jumped on it right away. All night I tried to reach out, called, texted, messaged her family on [Facebook], as did others. Finally someone was able to send the police for a wellness check, unfortunately it was too late.

This is one of the results of right wing hate... And if they can't outright murder, they are fine with this.
RIP
