The father of an adopted Chinese girl who was brought over to the United States as an infant has called on school authorities to discover whether racist bullying caused his daughter to take her own life.
Mark Olsen of Fairfield Township, Ohio believes his daughter Emilie Grace Olsen, 13, may have been bullied at school.
Police have launched an investigation into Ms Olson's death but believe she has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


Mr Olsen and his wife Cindy travelled to China and adopted Emilie Grace and brought her home to Ohio agend nine months.
Speaking to Cincinnati.com, Mr Olsen said: 'I'm not saying the school did something wrong, but I am looking for answers.
'I'm not trying to stir the pot, and I know there are a lot of rumors out there, but I'm trying to get answers.'

Several posts on social media suggested that the 13-year-old school girl had been racially bullied.
He said: 'There was a racial component to the bullying. There was cyber-bullying and physical bullying. They (school officials) cleared it up in the sixth grade, but it continued into the seventh grade. She was an A student, but she started to fail intentionally and talked about wanting to go to another school district to get away from it.'

Emilie Grace was as student of Fairfield Middle School who denied there had been any racial element to the tragedy.
School spokeswoman Gina Gentry-Fletcher described Emilie Grace's death a a tragedy and said the school was making counselors available to students.
She said there were a number of 'rumors and misinformation' surrounding the tragedy.
She said an earlier bullying allegation concerning Emilie Grace had been resolved.
However, Mr Olsen later told WCPO.com: 'I want to believe them ... I spoke to the principal this morning. He called me back. I believe what he told me, however, I'm getting conflicting stories.
'I believe there is something more to it and that's what I want to find out.'
In a statement, Fairfield Township Police Chief Matt Fruchey said his officers have not found any suicide not and there was no indication of any suicidal ideation in any text messages sent before the tragedy.
He admitted he had been made aware of bullying allegations on social media, but was so far unable to find any evidence.
Friends recently held a highly emotional candlelight vigil for Ms Olsen where they sang 'Amazing Grace'.
