Kathryn Maria Ottersten ("Kathy Otter")
31 Jan 2024
Fairbanks, Alaska (USA)
Suicide
Kathy died by suicide.
A warrior passes.
Our own Kathy Otter chose to take a different path in her epic journey today and ended her time here.
By her own admission to me and others via email this afternoon, mental illness drove her decision.
I was allowed permission to share this devastating news by close friends of Kathy in Fairbanks, Alaska.
They are all communing together tonight in shock and sadness over their departed friend.
We must continue to look after each other, brother and sister and non-binary activists, and hold each other up.
Alexis Danzig and I welcome people to help us plan a NYC memorial service for Kathy in the future.
Kathy Otter, rest in power!
