Police are investigating after 11-year-old kills herself

GRANTS, N.M. (AP) — Authorities are investigating after an 11-year-old girl killed herself after allegedly being bullied.
Delia Watson's family and friends, who gathered Wednesday night for a vigil, say they believe the suicide was preventable.
Watson died on Friday.
Watson's friend, Malaya Martinez, says Watson reported the bullying to officials at Mount Taylor Elementary School in Grants.
Grants-Cibola County Schools released a statement Tuesday addressing the "unexpected death" of Watson.
The statement says community health representatives and school counselors are available to anyone "who wishes to talk about the student's death."
A spokesman for the Grants Police Department confirmed the agency is investigating the death, but could not elaborate on details citing an ongoing investigation.
