Couple commit suicide together.

A young couple, Davon Smallwood, 25, and Ariana O’Neal, 21, who have been under pressure to end their relationship because of the girl's mother's disapproval  decided to choose suicide rather than being apart from each other by jumping in front of a speeding LIRR train together and left a multipage note that said they were going to a better behind. 


They lived in the same house with the mother and their 2 year old daughter.
In the note, they wrote “Two great people” are going to “paradise,” that was found on the Hollis, Queens, platform after their death leap Monday night. “Everything will be good,” the note said.

The couple were arrested earlier this month for allegedly stealing jewellery from a Jamaica, Queens store.

The mother was upset over her daughter's boyfriend's recent trouble with the law.
“Her mom didn’t want the boyfriend living with all of them,” her landlord, Kinsley Senior, said last night. “She didn’t like him.”

Witnesses who were present for the sudden suicide gave brief descriptions of what they saw.
At around 10:15 p.m on Monday, Simmons heard a “boom” from the bodies’ impact with the Manhattan-bound express train, and ran to the station.

An MTA cop who responded to the scene read the first page of the notebook and said, “Oh, my God, it’s a suicide note!”

MTA officials said the train was travelling 80 mph and the engineer spotted the couple moments before they leaped in front of his train, but was unable to stop in time, he told investigators. The impact cracked the wind-shield.

About 125 passengers were on board the train, which was held at the station for nearly two hours as the couple’s mangled bodies were removed.
