An advocate for sexual abuse victims who became the subject of a Netflix documentary after alleging she was sexually assaulted at age 14 in Missouri has died by suicide, according to her mother and a co-worker.

Melinda Coleman, the mother of Daisy Coleman, announced her daughter's death Tuesday on Facebook!

Daisy Coleman was found dead in Denver after her mother called police to check on her, said Shael Norris, executive director of SafeBAE, a group Daisy Coleman co-founded to help young victims of sexual assault.

The other girl featured in the documentary, 15-year-old Audrie Pott, died by suicide days after she said she was sexually assaulted by three boys in September 2012 in Sarasota, California.

Coleman was the driving force behind the formation of SafeBAE after the documentary, said Norris, who called her death "an irreplaceable loss.".

"She was really, really good at what she did," Norris said, because teenagers who have been assaulted knew she understood their problems.

"It's a huge loss for the culture in general because I think it was her resilience that has inspired so many other survivors to get help and speak out," Norris said.

Melinda Coleman alleged Rice dropped the felony charge because of political pressure - Barnett's grandfather was a four-term Missouri state representative who was a state trooper for 32 years.

Rice said he dropped the charge because the Colemans stopped cooperating with his investigation.
