Fourteen-year old Eira Maghuyop, a Filipino American high school freshman, was found dead in her Yonkers, New York home on Tuesday, after allegedly hanging herself in the bathroom.

Yonkers police investigators refused to comment further on Maghuyop’s death since it is still under investigation but are looking at the possibility that bullying may be behind her alleged suicide.

A spokesperson for The Ursuline School said they have visited the Maghuyop family and offered comfort. The spokesperson also said they have counselors available for students and staff who were affected by the incident.
