A 27-year-old Manhattan dietitian, Tara Condell, has allegedly hanged herself in her West Village apartment.
It was gathered that she reportedly committed the act after posting a suicide note online in which she apologised to her mother.
The police said on Thursday that she wrote on her website just before her death.
Ms Condell, a native of San Francisco, was found dead with a cloth around her neck inside her bedroom of her home on West 10th Street around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Worried co-workers called the police after Condell did not show up for work at the Midtown office of Top Balance Nutrition on Wednesday.
In addition to the note left on her website, sources said Condell left another suicide note in a folder in her living room.
Condell, according to her website, is a registered dietitian nutritionist specialising in general nutrition, weight management, gastrointestinal disease and diabetes care.
“I have written this note several times in my head for over a decade, and this one finally feels right. No edits, no overthinking. I have accepted hope is nothing more than delayed disappointment, and I am just plain old-fashioned tired of feeling tired.
“No single conversation or situation has led me to make this decision, so at what point do you metaphorically pull the trigger?” part of the note read.
