Tiffany Valiante, Did She Take Her Own Life or Did Someone Else?
Authorities have ruled she took her own life, but her parents do not believe it; the evidence supports them.
Tiffany Valiante was an eighteen-year-old girl with her whole life in front of her. She had just gained a volleyball scholarship to Mercy College in New York. She was planning to pursue a career in criminal justice or the armed forces.
She came out as gay in 2015 and although she recently split from her girlfriend, the split was amicable and she had started dating someone else. She lived with her family and two older half-sisters. On the surface, everything was going well for her.
Sadly, in 2015, she was killed in Mays Landing, New Jersey, when hit by an oncoming train. Officials took just one day to rule this death as a suicide. However, the family will argue that this is not the case. Tiffany was not depressed. They believe she was murdered.
Family disputes
Although Tiffany came from a loving home, as with any teenager, there were times when things were not positive. Friends state that Tiffany did self-harm but was not suicidal. It is a common misconception in mental health that self-injuring turns to suicide.
