I don't get what the part in bold above means. Google Translate doesn't really help much:

> She committed suicide and knelt down and was put on the plane.

I also feel a bit weird about [the grammar structure 又……又……](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22both_A_and_B%22_with_%22you%22) being used with verbs (I thought [一边……一边……](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Simultaneous_tasks_with_%22yibian%22) was for verbs). My guess is that it's related to the 据说, and that these are two simultaneous rumors about what happened to 阿紫.

**Question**: What does 她又自杀又下跪地被送上了飞机 mean?

You are an advanced Chinese learner/reader, I think you have seen this phrase before - "又哭又鬧", a person protest an unfavorable decision/order against him/her by crying out loud and making a scene/disturbance on the surroundings to draw attention.

In this case, the overall meaning is the same as the above, but instead of 哭和鬧, 阿紫 uses 自杀 and 下跪 to fight against the forced departure (she **both** threatens to kill herself **and** kneeling down to beg not to carry out the family decision).
