Billy Watts was a senior at Renaissance High School in Detroit, Michigan, where he was 17 years old.
Within the Detroit music scene, he had gained popularity as DJ Kill Bill.
Still, Billy had struggled with depression for a few months before October 2014.
Exactly ten years ago, on October 26, 2014, Billy carefully planned his suicide on social media.
He uploaded multiple pictures, from his last dinner to his wake-up, to show his last day.
With phrases like “Smile, you lived” and “Is his watch waterproof?” the captions gave a sinister indication as to what was to come.
Billy sadly committed suicide by plunging into the Detroit River at the age of 17, not long after the social media posts. His body was found in a matter of hours.
Billy Watts, who went by DJ Kill Bill, was hailed as a bright, inventive, and lively young guy.
His neighborhood was astonished when he planned his suicide by livestreaming mysterious posts and then plunging into the Detroit River.
It is devastating that he took his own life at such a young age, showing great promise, following months of depressive struggles.
