Her parents have spoken up about the changes they noticed in their 10-year-old daughter before to her untimely death by suicide.
In the weeks leading up to the March 21 tragedy, Autumn Bushman, a fourth-grader at Roanoke’s Mountain View Elementary School, had displayed symptoms of distress.
Before she passed away, her parents, Mark and Summer Bushman, claim to have seen tragic changes in their daughter.
Autumn’s mother, Summer, remarked, “She was the youngest and probably the wildest.” She exuded a lot of enthusiasm. Whether you believed she would fall through the floor of my living room was irrelevant. She was constantly performing cartwheels within my home.
