:bawl: I loved her in Clueless, Sin City, Girl Interrupted, 8 Mile.... She died of a heart attack Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Huh? No idea, it's a Hong-Kong-style martial arts (with some humour) flick: Mark Dacascos (The Crow in the TV series among other things). Um after a quick check... yes it is, apparently.
Who'd have thought she had a bad heart... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Not necessarily a bad heart, could be a bad diet. Like those wight reducing regimens that cause tachycardia due to diuresis.
Wight-reducing? Oh, if only Frodo and company had known about those... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I sincerely hope that this one doesn't turn out later to be a drug overdose. So many celebrities' deaths start off being labeled "natural" (i.e. heart attacks, etc.) and later end up being attributed to mixing Xanax, oxycodone, Soma, alcohol, cocaine, etc. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Personally, I have had four of my friends succumb to this mixture, although one threw some crack in for good measure. She was extremely beautiful and a good actress, so let's just hope...

That's the same thing I was thinking. The fact that she died of a heart attack in the shower in the morning makes me think drugs weren't involved. I mean, do many people do drugs on Sunday morning?
Well, as I said I have had four friends go this way, so I can offer anecdotal info, but perhaps a resident "expert" can come up with the scientific "truth". Two out of the four did, in fact, pass in the early morning - one had made it all the way to his favorite breakfast diner and then simply collapsed. My understanding is that it has something to do with waking and exercising (so to speak) after a night of partying. As to the other, yes, many will take a Xanax or Soma, or perhaps some other type of muscle relaxer in the morning to offset the "shakiness" and anxiety that is often present. Plus, don't forget, oxycodone earned its nick-name of "hillbilly heroin" for a reason - if you have not consumed any since the prior night, you will have the beginning of withdrawal symptoms by morning - and feel the need to immediately take another pill upon awakening. (Unfortunately, I am currently familiar with this last symptom personally, as I am still prescribed oxycodone from the car accident I was in several months ago - however, the Doctors say I can begin titrating down next month and perhaps eliminate the whole mess altogether by the end of January. Coming off of oxycodone SUCKS, my friend, but I want it to end... :cheersPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
She looks way too thin to be healthy, probably ten percent under her best weight figure. A few people really do have heart attacks in their thirties, and being underweight and dehydrated (not to mention a stressful career) is a good way to become one of them. Arguably, it's the alcohol that finishes them off. If you pull out the toxicology report on all of the high-profile celebrity "drug-related deaths," I think you'll find that most of them had a BAC up in the twenties or even higher. It doesn't take very much else of some other chemical that might be less risky by itself to make your body break down completely and die. The government wants us all to believe it was the other drugs. "Reefer Madness," for short. Sadly, the criminalization of other recreational drugs pushes people toward alcohol because it's cheaper, easier to get, and less persecuted. So they substitute some booze for some of the pot or coke they couldn't afford, and bingo, they've got a customized drug mixture for which there is just about zero research on the effects. Anyone who's addicted does drugs in the morning to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. That's why drunks start the day off with a shot; it makes the pain go away. Coke, speed, many of them work the same way. Pot does not because the withdrawal symptoms are almost unnoticeably mild and don't involve physical pain. LSD does not because it just doesn't work that way and in fact it's almost impossible to get off on acid more than a couple of times a week. Naturally the shit-for-brains government pushes us toward alcohol, which has killer withdrawal ("hangover") and is far more addictive than many other recreational drugs.
CNN says "natural causes". I am not aware of any natural causes killing humans at 32. Best bet is drugs with anorexia...
