Bell's death was largely reported in the media, starting discussions about bullying, the effect it has on youth, and gay bullying. The Associated Press reported that a spokesman for the Oregon Health and Science University's Portland hospital announced that after being taken off life support Bell died on February 3, 2013. He did not immediately die from the strangulation, and was rushed to the emergency room, where he was kept on life support. On January 14, 2013, Bell went to a local elementary school and hanged himself from the play structure.
He was a member of the La Grande High School cheerleading team in La Grande, Oregon, where he was a sophomore. Bell, a gay teenager, was allegedly intensely bullied both in person and on the Internet because he was gay.

Her death was ruled a suicide by the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office. On December 5, 2017, Ames was found dead after hanging herself at her home in Camarillo, California.
