The 14-year-old Budiriro girl, who committed suicide last Friday, was buried on Monday amid revelations that she had been acting mysteriously prior to her death.
Reports are that Alisha Simango, who killed herself in a bathroom using a wrapping cloth, was now anti-social.
Prior to her death, Alisha seemed to have mental health issues according to her diary. She raised issues to do with home and school problems, including being cheated by her boyfriend at school.
While in the diary, she touched on a number of issues troubling her, her biggest gripe seemed to be about her school boyfriend, who is believed to be son to one of the senior staffers there.
He was allegedly “double crossing” her with a girl from the same school and who never liked her, the breaking point being an alleged kissing incident on Wednesday.
However, close sources who attended the funeral said there was more than love issues.
“Alisha was buried on Monday, and the postmortem revealed that she died due to suffocation as a result of the cloth she used to commit suicide.
“Prior to her death, Alisha was acting abnormal and she was no longer herself.
“
She was no longer talking to anyone, and most people around her commended her for being well a behaved girl.
“She would say strange things, and stay indoors every time,” said the source.
It was also revealed that she was no longer active at church and the previous week, her prophet said something about her death.
“It seems the spirit was haunting her, and that’s when she started writing all that stuff in her diary.
“On Sunday last week, the prophet at her church called her, but she was not there.
“The prophet said, he was looking for Alisha, and in his spirit, he was seeing her in an enclosed place and he needed to pray for her.
“He was saying that he was feeling that he wanted to pray for her since she was going to commit suicide.
“She hasn’t been going to church for a while, and this happened.
“Alisha was no longer an active member, so no one even recognised her when the issue was raised in church until the time of her death.”
Another close source said, Alisha was having problems than the love issue.
“Let’s be honest, Alisha was going through a lot and more than what the diary revealed.
“I am sure at home, there were serious issues, she couldn’t accept the fact that her parents were not well up.
“So, she had mental health issues.”
