Daisy Coleman -- one of the teenage girls featured in "Audrie &
Daisy," the Netflix documentary about multiple rape cases -- has
died by suicide ... according to her mother.

Daisy's mom, Melinda, says her daughter took her own life
Tuesday night. Her body was discovered after Melinda called the
police to do a welfare check.

Melinda says ... "She was my best friend and amazing daughter. I
think she had to make make it seem like I could live without
her. I can’t. I wish I could have taken the pain from her!"

Daisy was 14 years old in January 2012 when she was allegedly
raped at a Missouri house party after being plied with alcohol
... though no one was ever convicted.

The 2016 Netflix doc followed Daisy and members of her family as
they dealt with the trauma of her alleged assault, and the
hostile reaction of their community.

Daisy's mom says, "She never recovered from what those boys did
to her and it’s just not fair. My baby girl is gone." The family
coped with another tragedy just last year when Daisy's younger
brother was killed in a car accident.

"Audrie & Daisy" also focused on the sexual assault of Audrie
Pott in September 2012 in California. Audrie died by suicide 10
days later.

Following her rape case, Daisy co-founded the organization
SafeBAE with the mission of ending sexual assault among middle
and high school students and helping survivors. The org says it
is devastated by her death and has "suffered an irreplaceable
loss."

Daisy was 23.

What kind of parent lets a 14-year-old girl go to an
unsupervised house party where alcohol is being illegally served.
