The third-year junior high school girl died after being hit by a local train on the JR Iida Line in Toyokawa at around 3 p.m. on Friday, local police said.

The girl, whose name was not disclosed, left what appeared to be a suicide note at her home, which partly reads, "Thank you for supporting me up to now," according to investigators.

She was diagnosed as mentally unstable due to anxiety over her relationships with friends, and was receiving treatment.
