Vicki Van Meter

Vicki Van Meter has committed suicide by shooting herself. She was the youngest pilot ever to cross the U.S., when she did it as a young girl. Unhappiness is the reason cited for her recent actions.

Van Meter died Saturday and her body was found in her Meadville home on Sunday.

Her brother said she battled depression and opposed medication, but her family thought she had been dealing with her problems.

“She was unhappy, but it was hard for her to open up about that and we all thought that she was coping,” Daniel Van Meter said. “This really is a shock, because we didn’t see the signs.”

Vicki Van Meter was 26.
