Just one day after news surfaced Birth of A Nation star Nate Parker was acquitted for raping a woman while they were both students at Penn State, Variety spoke with the accuser’s older brother who revealed in 2012 she committed suicide.

Johnny, who didn’t give his last name during the interview out of respect for his sister, told the outlet she overdosed on prescription pills. She was 30 years old. “She became detached from reality,” the victim’s brother said. “The progression was very quick and she took her life.”

There’s no proof the victim’s suicide was linked directly to the trial. She was found unresponsive at a drug rehabilitation center by staff members with two 100-count pill bottles of Benadryl. However, in court the victim testified she attempted twice to take her life after the reported rape. The victim’s death certificate, also obtained by Variety,states she suffered from “major depressive disorder with psychotic features, PTSD due to physical and sexual abuse, polysubstance abuse.”
