Actress Demi Moore Helped A Woman, Preventing Her From Committing Suicide

Demi Moore, is an American actress and film producer.

Best known for her work at Blame It on Rio, St. Elmo's Fire, A Few Good Men, Striptease, and lots more, the celebrity also had numerous appearances elsewhere.

Moore is also known as the pioneer for equal salary for women in Hollywood, the first female actress to reach a $10 million salary, and the highest paid actress in Hollywood in 1996. She was considered as one of the world's most beautiful women, as well as one of the best-dressed female poll back in 2006.

And not just that, as on social media networks, especially on Twitter, she is active in raising awareness of sexual trafficking and slavery.

And it was also on Twitter that Moore managed to save one her followers' life.

At that time, an unemployed woman that goes by the name 'sandieguy', messaged Moore saying that: "Getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn't waste time."

Soon later, she received another message, saying that: "gbye ... gonna kill myself now."

Quickly, the actress responded, and tried to make the woman change her mind.

She got help from the public, when she reposted the message onto her Twitter page and wrote: "hope you are joking."

Seeing this, a number of Moore's huge amounts of followers flooded the San Jose Police Department with calls reporting the threat.

The police who located the woman, got to her location in time, and took her into custody for "evaluation."

The officers said that the case is an unprecedented use of the social media.

"We received several calls in regards to the Twitter threat," said San Jose Police Department Public Information Officer Jermaine Thomas.

"We located the subject and that person was uninjured. We did take the person into custody for evaluation."

The authorities declined to disclose the identity of the woman.

Thomas however, lauded Twitter as being a potentially useful tool in future investigations.

"This Twitter concept is so new, this is the first time it's led us to what could have been a very real crime," he said. "This could be yet another tool to find out what's going on out there."

"It is my understanding that the situation was not a joke and that through the collective efforts here, action was taken to provide help," Moore said.

At that time, Twitter was only a few years old, and Moore had around 370,000.

Moore's husband at the time, actor Ashton Kutcher, was a more avid Twitter user with around 675,000. Following this case, he also tweeted about the attempted suicide on his own account.
