It's frequently difficult to point to a single cause that leads a person to kill themselves, and Near's problems started years ago. "Every single person involved/aware did their best to save Near's life at every point in time given the information they had access to at the time," said Martin on Twitter. The statement also said that some of the harassment Near mentioned happened on other platforms that its administrator says they cannot control. Kiwi Farms later, while under a DDoS attack that's briefly taken the site down, released a statement saying it had nothing to do with Near's death.

Over the weekend, Near published a series of tweets implying a desire to end their own life after a targeted campaign of harassment by members of Kiwi Farms, the notoriously toxic message board forum whose members regularly engage in harassment campaigns. Waypoint has been unable to independently verify this information. On Monday morning, hacker and security engineer Hector "Marcan" Martin said he'd been in contact with the police department in charge of investigating the incident, confirming Near passed away sometime on June 27.
