TW: Abuse,rape and suicide
___________________________________________

A connection between 'Ben Drowned" and the story of Katelyn Davis, the 12-year-old girl who committed suicide live online by hanging herself on a tree in her backyard in December, 2016.

The suicide live online:

She spoke for quite a while before she hung herself. She apologised many times. She made disquieting references to internet creepypasta characters, Ben Drowned and Slenderman, seemingly unintentionally ensuring that she'll become part of creepy legend. She talked about her stepfather too.

She got hold of her tears by taking deep breaths. She was committed to leaving - her neck never snapped. She never dropped far enough for an instant death. Her twitching body supports that her departure was more terrifying she suffocated to death.

But for all the twitching, she never attempted to save herself. How that dedication was possible for one so young is incomprehensible.

Katelyn left the world with lots of clues as to what was going on. She had an online diary that she was writing in for the last few weeks of her life.

The diary was titled "Diary of a Broken Doll." The "Introduction" was written on December 21, and it gives some basic details about the young girl. She states that she would have been 13 on February 20, of this year, and also briefly begins to touch on her issues with depression.

Katelyn writes that she does not like the holidays, but not because she hates "Jesus or anything." She goes on to say that she is just not a "happy or positive person." She also warns that if readers feel they may be "triggered" by her diary from her going "too deep," that they should quit reading immediately. The account was deleted. Only some of the diary entry are in the internet available.

The deleted blog attributed to Katelyn largely focuses on her inner struggles and challenges with her family, except for one post that focuses on a person she calls "Ben Drowned." She wrote that he is the "real" Ben Drowned but that she hasn't talked to him in months. From the blog post alone, it's unclear whether Katelyn is talking about the fictionalized character that has spread across the web or an actual person who assumed the alias "Ben Drowned." The videos that appear to feature Katelyn before her death seem to suggest that "Ben" is a person who catfished her in a false online relationship.

"I can't live without him," the post reads. It's accompanied by a piece of fan art of Ben Drowned. The page header features a photo of a girl who appears to be Katelyn next to another dark drawing of Link. The post also references "Slender Man."

The Stepfather:

In Katelyn's fourth entry on December 27, the diary takes a very dark turn as the young girl goes into detail of her family life, in specific her relationship with her stepfather. She writes that she was forced to see her stepfather over Christmas for the "first time in a while."

Katelyn talks about the physical, mental, and sexual abuse she claims to have experienced at the hands of her stepfather. She goes into some detail about a leather belt with silver studs, writing that he would make sure she was hit by the studs. Katelyn says that he hit her so hard in the arm with his belt that her arm began to bleed. She goes on to say that, "he tried to rape me."

In a disturbing piece of information, Katelyn states that he once told her to hang herself. She writes that he would call her a "worthless whore." Perhaps the most disturbing part is that Katelyn claims she is not the only victim of her stepfather, stating that he also touched her siblings.
