Police say the 16-year-old jumped off the roof of a building after 69% of respondents picked "death" in her poll
Authorities in Malaysia have launched an investigation after a teenage girl was found to have taken her own life after starting an Instagram poll asking users to vote for life or death.
The unnamed 16-year-old posed the question to users on Monday, saying: "Really important, help me choose: D/L."
Hours later, the teenager jumped to her death from the roof of a building in the east Malaysia state of Sarawak.
District police chief Aidil Bolhassan said 69% of respondents at the time of her death had selected "D". However, Instagram maintains that the poll ended after 24 hours with 88% of her followers choosing "L".
Mr Bolhassan said the results may have changed during the 24-hour period that the poll was active as more people learned of her fate.
