Damn.

[roach]

i'm with ya.

I didn't even know who she was when they announced it on the news. That's how far removed I am from films these days.

I'm guessing drugs.

[mr_j]

to me she's always gonna be King of the Hill's Luanne Platter.

From what I'm hearing it may have been related to diabetes.

[Sybil]

Like so many young actresses these days, she was painfully thin. If she was indeed diabetic, an eating disorder would have been catastrophic. At any rate, it's very sad, and I hope she's rollin' with some homies.

I thought she was one of those who wasn't so much painfully thin as she was just naturally tiny. Still, a damn, damn shame.

Perez Hilton has been implying for a while now that she and her husband have had issues with drugs. . . it's sad, no mater why her heart stopped.

I figured she had been on a pretty good bender. First indication was that the husband said he doesn't want an autopsy performed. I take that as meaning she's either an alien, a robot or the guy knows exactly why she dropped dead.

Second indicator is that she was just fired from a movie for being too difficult for the cast and crew to work with.

painfully thin + drugs + diabetes = bad news bears. it's not normal for a 32 year old to have complete heart failure, just saying.

[monet2u]

sad indeed, so young.

people need to wise up. docs handout scrips like candy and then you mix that with street drugs...what can you expect. Throw in the hollywood diet and you're just doomed. so sad.

[mr_j]

maybe she's our generation's Karen Carpenter.

does this mean she od'ed on Ipecac?

[Irock]

I don't read Perez but I had the impression she was pretty strung-out. I really liked her, & I rarely lik starlette-types... Another waste.
