The 9-year-old Bronx girl who cops suspect strangled herself with a shower curtain in an apparent suicide has been identified as Justice Williams.
Justice’s mother made the horrific discovery at the family’s home around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, police said. The girl was declared dead at Jacobi Hospital 12 minutes later. The mother, Tamiqua Torres, had written on her personal blog that her daughter was unhappy about becoming a big sister.
“We were as happy as happy could be until one day my then 8 year old woke up and decided that she wasn’t exactly thrilled about being a Big Sister,” Torres wrote. The girl told family members she “wanted to die” when she learned her mom was pregnant — prompting her mother to get her professional help, according to sources.
Torres, 31, decided to check on the 9-year-old girl Sunday because she was taking too long in the shower, according to police sources.
She walked in and found her daughter motionless, with a white cloth around her neck hanging from the metal shower frame door, sources said. The girl had recently gone to a therapist for help dealing with the birth of a new half-brother, sources said.
