Two years after its premiere, Netflix has removed the controversial graphic suicide scene from the first season of the popular young adult drama, 13 Reasons Why. The nearly three-minute-long scene, on the show's first season, depicts the female lead taking her own life. It has been re-edited on the advice of medical experts.

"We have heard from many young people that 13 Reasons Why encouraged them to start conversations about difficult issues like depression and suicide, and seek help -- often for the first time. As we prepare to launch Season three later this summer, we have been mindful about the ongoing debate around the show," said a Netflix spokesperson.
