London: A British
schoolgirl hanged herself to death, believing that the world was
coming to its end in 2012. She had researched doomsday scenarios
on internet, an inquest heard.
Isabel Taylor, 16, had turned to Buddhism after being fed up with
the "complications and injustices" of the modern world. While
searching for answers, she began researching doomsday scenarios -
becoming convinced a nuclear reactor meltdown would end
civilisation in the coming months, Daily Mail reported.
She had researched on internet how to overdose but her mother
found her hanging in the bedroom.
