Police were alerted to the possible suicide by Cheryl Veinotte, a Nova Scot woman whose son, Brandon Wentzell, was unaware that the girl he was exchanging messages with online did not exist.
Wentzell died earlier this year of an overdose of vodka and Dilaudid.
After her son died, Veinotte told police she received a series of text messages claiming to be from Chistiakov’s mother.
The message said the girl had committed suicide after hearing of Wentzell’s death.
