An Alabama school said they found no evidence of bullying after a 9-year-old girl’s family claimed racist taunts led the child to take her own life earlier this month.

McKenzie Adams, a fourth-grader at U.S. Jones Elementary School, hanged herself in her home in Linden on Dec. 3 after being teased about her friendship with a white classmate, according to her family.

Demopolis City Schools conducted an investigation into the bullying claims and released its findings on Tuesday.

“We have concluded our internal investigation to the allegations of bullying which led to this senseless death. There have been no findings of any reports of bullying by either the student or family. The findings of this internal investigation are consistent with the results of the investigation of the Linden (Alabama) Police Department at this point in time,” according to the statement, obtained by the Tuscaloosa News.

McKenzie was bullied and was told to kill herself by other students, her aunt Eddwina Harris said.

“She was being bullied the entire school year, with words such as ‘kill yourself,’ ‘you think you’re white because you ride with that white boy,’ ‘you ugly,’ ‘black b—h,’ ‘just die,’” Harris told the Tuscaloosa News.

Harris said McKenzie was also bullied at her old elementary school in Linden, and that McKenzie transferred to U.S. Jones Elementary after the family complained to the Alabama State Board of Education about the bullying.

Linden City School Superintendent Tim Thurman said he couldn’t confirm evidence of bullying because all the teachers and administrators from that time are gone.

Demopolis City Schools said it has provided grief and crisis counselors, along with ministers and youth ministers, in the wake of McKenzie’s death.

“Certainly our hearts go out to the family and friends of Mckenzie and her fellow students as well as her teachers,” the school district said in a statement.

McKenzie’s funeral is scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. in the gym at U.S. Jones Elementary.
