Ashley Anne Riggitano a New York fashionista, jumped to her dead from the George Washington Bridge on her 22nd birthday.

Ashley Anne Riggitano, a New York fashionista, jumped to her death from the George Washington Bridge on Wednesday, after a heated Facebook argument with her best friend.

Riggitano, 22, allegedly was on Aderall and Klonopin when she jumped into the Hudson River at 4:40 p.m. on Jan. 6, which also happened to be her birthday, the Daily Mail reported.

According the several reports, Riggitano had gotten into a Facebook fight with her good friend Alison Tinari, who allegedly wrote her a post that's being considered as a contributing factor in the suicide.

“Go try to kill yourself on Xanax again, you unstable loser. Go xx yourself and never speak to me again.” The fashionista left a handwritten note found in her Louis Vuitton bag on the bridge. In the note, she stated that her "friends" were never there and were only interested in gossip. She also singled out four people she wanted excluded from her funeral.

A source has identified the four as Teresa Castaldo, Beth Bassil, Victoria Van Thunen and Samantha Horneff, Fox News reported.

Van Thunen was Riggitano’s business partner at Missfits, a jewelry-design business.

Reports indicate this wasn't the first time Riggitano attempted to commit suicide. Prescription drugs Adderall, used to treat ADHD, and Klonopin, an anti-panic drug, were also found in her bag.

Designer Alex Woo who employed Riggitano part-time said she appeared happy and was liked by everyone.

How many deaths can be linked to prescription meds? I am not for banning things, but if we do, those would be a good place to start. People today never want to feel “bad.” Unfortunately, you have to experience the lows to appreciate the highs. Somewhere we lost sight of that. Sad.

I hear you. A little sympathy isn’t so hard. Imagine if she was your sister or daughter. Prayers for her friends and family.

"Riggitano, 22, allegedly was on Aderall and Klonopin when she jumped into the Hudson River at 4:40 p.m. on Jan. 6, which also happened to be her birthday, the Daily Mail reported."

What's worse is the combo. Talk about contraindicated. Aderall provides the grist for the jump and Klonopin removes the self-preservation boundary.

LOL! Thanks. My husband is only 3 months older than I am, but I have been mistaken for his daughter before. ;) I have to stay young to keep up with the four children that keep calling me ‘Mom.’

If that is a fashionista, I don’t want to be one. She looks like the bag lady who found a thousand dollar ugly handbag.

Boy did you peg me. I come across as old Walter Huston the
Preacher Man, but down deep I really want to possess the
lovely Miss Sadie Thompson. Good read!
