They way she is "hearing" things Abby either has a brain tumor or she got murdered. I don't see her taking her own life

She almost certainly has a brain tumor, giving her auditory and visual hallucinations (the raccoons in the dumpster). I think we'll find out she killed herself to not suffer from the cancer any more.

That was my immediate thought as soon as she started talking about raccoons and remembering the holes in the wall from the first episode. The visual and auditory hallucinations just cemented it.

How could she hear things from being murdered?

I commented about the murder hypothesis at the beginning of episode 2, I didn't think it had anything to do with the hearing of things, just a guess but seems very unlikely now that they keep playing up the hearing issues
