Suicide By Paganism?
Two teenagers who recently committed suicide in Knox, Indiana are having their deaths tied to Wicca. When the two 13 year olds, Debra Jean Kawaguchi and Sarah Ann Casey stepped into the oncoming train many wondered what could have caused it, but the press and police officials seemed to have latched onto a convienent “occult” explanation.

How do they know Wicca was the cause? Well it’s like this.
“According to those close to the case, the girls allegedly left a note saying they killed themselves because they believed they would be reincarnated. Police believe both girls were involved in the practice of Wicca.”
Now this is a tragedy, but if the girls were Christians who said they expected their eternal reward I doubt the case would be ruled death via their Christian beliefs. The girls also loved old cars and Japanese culture but those aren’t being bandied about as reasons for their mutual suicides.
There could be many reasons for why they did what they did, but blaming Wicca is lazy journalism and investigative police-work.
