Ellie Soutter

Up and coming British Snowboarder Ellie Soutter has passed away on her 18th birthday. My Mrs' bestie's son has been involved in the same training camps as Ellie and, going by the link at the bottom of the announcement, it looks like she may have taken her own life, which is the reason I thought it was worth a thread.

RIP. So sad.


I know aprobably a different scenario but I watched the BBC film 'killed by my debt' the other night. So so sad. Such pressures on youngsters to fit in and try and make a life for themselves these days.

How dreadfully sad. RIP

So sad, really talented young girl that had a huge future ahead of her.

Can only think if she has taken her own life, that it is the pressures involved in stepping up from junior to senior level of competition.

Rest Peacefully.

Unbelievably sad. She’s at peace now but how her parents can ever recover I’ll never know

I'll reiterate this. One missed camp would not have ruled her out of all competition.

I feel so sorry for her, those like her and her family.

Very sad - easy to get things out of perspective when you're young. Terrible for the parents.
