It's finished: Dutch teen raped as a child kills self with euthanasia, leaves moving Instagram post

A 17-year-old girl in Netherlands, who survived rape in her childhood, died after being assisted by the state to end her life because of her unbearable psychological suffering and long struggle with depression.

Noa Pothoven, who penned an award-winning book on her battle with depression, wrote a last Instagram post on Saturday. The post that said "I will die within a maximum of 10 days" was read by her 10,000 followers.

Her autobiographic book was titled 'Winning or Learning'.

A day after the post, Noa breathed her last. She was assisted to kill herself by a state-authorised clinic that helps with euthanasia. The process is legal in Netherlands under the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide Act of 2001.
