Let Kymberley Suchomel’s Family Grieve
I’ve been spending a great deal of time over the last few days commenting on articles and social media posts that I’m finding regarding Kymberley Suchomel’s passing. I’m disgusted at the amount of lies that have been spread about her death and the conspiracy theories that are being thrown around about her and the connection to the mass shooting at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas earlier this month. I’m here to set the record straight once and for all on behalf of those that actually knew her.
While I never met Kymberley in person, I had spoken to her on a few occasions and knew her through the small shop community we were both a part of. As I mentioned in my previous post, she had spoken to me about her epilepsy and that it had often slowed her down. She was also diagnosed with a brain tumor a few months ago. She was not the “healthy” 28 year old that these articles keep claiming she was.
After surviving the worst mass shooting in modern day history, Kymberley Suchomel rightfully suffered from PTSD, anxiety and a tremendous about of stress. She wrote on her FB page about the nightmares she was having and her fear of being alone and leaving her house. It had only been a week since the shooting and she was coping as best she could, partly by sharing her thoughts and feelings with the Facebook community.
According to her family and close friends, “As far as we know, she passed away from a grand mal seizure. She was epileptic, prone to seizures and had a brain tumor. We do not know the exact cause of death as the autopsy report has not been finalized… foul play is not suspected. ”
The Government Did Not Take Down Her Facebook Posts
The government did not erase her posts because she claimed there were multiple shooters at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas. Her family deleted her account as they were being harassed by random people. They are trying to grieve. They are trying to cope with the fact that their beloved Kymberley is gone.
Please just put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Imagine going online and seeing these stories, reading these messages from people that want nothing more than to connect Kymberley Suchomel to some crazy government cover-up. Imagine her beautiful little girl who will one day be old enough to google her Mom’s name and will read all of these lies, conspiracy theories and articles that are so far from the truth that they shouldn’t be allowed to be published.
The Government Did Not Murder Kymberley
The government did not kill her as part of a cover-up since she was so vocal about the idea that she believed there were multiple shooters. While the official autopsy has not yet been released, her family is certain of the cause and no foul play is suspected.
You Might Be Part of the Problem
For those of you that are sharing these stories and trying to make this more than it is, please, have some heart and realize that you contributing to the problem. If you’re going to share anything about this beautiful woman, share her bravery. Share the love she had for her family. Share the beautiful soul that her family and friends say that she was. Share that she was a founding member of the Phoenix Foundation, a group of concerned citizens wanting to help residents in the high desert area when tragedy strikes. Share the YouCaring account that her friends have created for her family.
But please, stop sharing unverified, false news and lies that have been concocted to try to expose a non-existent government cover-up. Is it possible that this mass shooting could have been more than it is? Sure. But Kymberley Suchomel’s death was not. It was a tragic loss. Now let her family grieve.
Hello There!
Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.
Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!
I would prefer to be lectured by someone who was closer to her, thank you very much. This part tells you this article was not written in good faith:
“They are trying to grieve. They are trying to cope with the fact that their beloved Kymberley is gone.

1. There is no way in hell her family is being hit with conspiracy theories left and right when they search her name. There’s barely any now. Searching her name now brings up all good news articles that just report that she died with only 2 on the second search page suggesting it COULD have been the government. You conjured up this problem.
2. You’re awfully concerned with what her daughter MIGHT search for, perhaps, eventually when she gets WAY OLDER, and then suggesting it will scar her irreparably.
3. Nice internet censorship recommendation at the end there.

No one is lecturing you. In fact, no one made you read this. I am in communications with her family, so I was respecting their wishes by publishing this post which was published right when it happened. Who are you to assume what her family is or isn’t going through? That’s exactly my point. People on the internet who are coming up with their own theories and bringing her family into it. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
