- Cora Delille hanged herself in her family's Ohio home on May 10
- In a suicide note, she named four students, including two ex-boyfriends
- Friends say she endured name-calling in the halls at school and one student even said she was glad she was dead
- But police said they interviewed the students named in the note and found evidence of 'name-calling' - but nothing to warrant prosecution
- Cora, whose boyfriend had broken up with her the day before she died, also wrote about feeling unloved at home amid her parents' divorce.
She also named at least four fellow students, including girls and two ex-boyfriends, and said they had caused her pain, he said.
Following news of her death, friends confirmed to police that Cora had been the victim of bullying and name calling at school and on social media.
Authorities interviewed the four students who were named in the letter, but did not find any conduct worthy of prosecution, he said. There was also no evidence of bullying on social networks, he added.
'She was the victim of some name calling,' he explained. 'While it's troublesome, it doesn't warrant bringing charges against the students.'

Close friends said that Cora mostly kept the torment to herself, and her parents said they had no idea the extent to which she was suffering.
'She mentioned here and there when kids made fun of her,' her mother, Amy Hall, told the Columbus Dispatch. 'She didn't clue me in to how bad it was.'
Friends said that students would make passing digs at her in the hallways at school and at lunch, while others said they heard girls calling Cora names at the spring dance recently.
The day before she killed herself, she phoned her best friend Sydney Teal in tears.
'She said she couldn’t take much more,' Sydney told the Dispatch. 'I didn't know what to do. I told her I loved her and that I'm here for her.'
Since her death, a friend has heard a student at school say she was happy that Cora was dead, while bullies have also cropped up online, writing insulting words beneath her photographs.
School officials added that Cora had never reported any bullying.
'I've yet to work with anyone who is going to ignore outright bullying when it's taking place,' Superintendent Rob Walker told the Dispatch. 'Can it happen and the teacher not hear it? Yes.'
Her mother, who remembered her daughter as fun-loving and a caring big sister to her younger siblings, hopes that other teenagers will get help before it's too late.
'A lot of other kids are suffering,' her mother said. 'They need to know there are other people out there to help. They don’t need to keep it inside.'
Cora's funeral, led by her grandfather Pastor Roger Epperson, was held on Wednesday.
Commander Delp said the investigation into her death is now closed.

Thanks but your comment is actually quite spammy and it just sounds like you're trying to promote your own material...

Okay but you know I could just flag you for using the wrong tag, but instead yes, i decided to kill 2 birds with one stone by promoting my material and explaining how tags work. I do not appreciate you responding by calling my efforts spam.

Yes and I could flag your comment as spam too. Pretty sure directly asking people for "Up, follow and Re-Steem" is considered to be spam when you read the TOS. So worry about your own compliance rather than lecturing others!

I asked for nothing, I simply said they are appreciated. I could have said nothing and left you to get flagged by others, I was simply suggesting that you might want to use different tags. I simply assumed that you did not know any better and I was trying to be nice. However now I see I was wasting my time, and I Will do as you suggested and stay to my page. You have a lovely day
