Gypsy Rose Blanchard insists Ken Urker did not take his own life as she pushes for Kenan's Law
Gypsy Rose Blanchard says she is certain Ken Urker did not die by suicide. She blames online bullying for his struggles and wants new rules for platforms.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard wants everyone to know where she stands on how Ken Urker died. She says she is completely sure he did not take his own life.
A new update to her petition
Blanchard shared her view in a fresh update to the petition against online bullying that she started after Urker's death.
In it she wrote that "we do know with 100% certainly that it was not suicide."
She noted that officials have not released a final cause of death yet. Toxicology results are still pending.
What she says hurt him
Blanchard does not appear to be hinting at foul play. Instead she points to the harassment Urker faced online.
She says that abuse pushed him toward unhealthy ways of coping, including drinking and drug use.
The push for Kenan's Law
Urker's legal first name was Kenan. Blanchard hopes her petition leads to a measure called Kenan's Law.
The idea is to treat online harassment as a pattern. Right now each report tends to be handled on its own as a single event.
She also wants people rather than software to review serious or repeat cases. Her other goals include saving reports and evidence along with more openness and accountability from social media companies.
