Ferrari is right. There was no, what is nowadays called, bullying. There was media interest, and once again the ever present social media influence, in personalities and events surrounding.

It was a tragedy, but to apportion blame with accusations of bullying by 'the media' is entirely to overlook the events leading to her demise. It used to be called "while the balance of (her) mind was disturbed" which can mean anything, even a headache, and is now apparently within the term "mental health". Another example of Newspeak giving a more blunt and not-quite-accurate social misnomer to a gentle and considerate term.
