Yes, I know. My heart actually sunk a little bit, even though I saw it coming five years ago. I'm not shocked, but actually seeing it made me sad.

was she a drug addict? seems she had a bad heart.

I assumed this because of how skinny she got in her later years. Couple that with a bad heart and well, there you go. But I really have no idea and it's just conjecture.

I'm willing to bet drugs played a part. Probably an overdose.

She had a severe eating disorder, and combined with the unstable behavior she exhibited back when she broke up with Ashton Kutcher, she seemed like a likely candidate for an early death ... honestly, when I clicked on the link I suspected she either died of anorexia or suicide. My first thought wasn't of drugs, but I guess that's a possibility.

32 year olds don't die every day of cardiac arrest.

I agree with you, but the death of a person(celebrity or no) is still a serious matter, and in this case a bit of a tragedy.

I thought she sucked as an actress and was ugly as hell. Nevertheless, I hope she's united now with our Lord.

That's such a lame concept^ I have trouble believing that someone actually entertains it.

The unfortunate truth about human beings is that they mourn most for people who die when they feel some sort of identification or connection with that person. It happens with celebrities when a person has particularly followed that celebrity's work, because on some artistic level the fan may feel a personal emotional response to the film, book, music, etc. Even though most individuals aren't actually "personally connected" to famous people, the symbolic identification can still be present.

Besides, if everyone sat around and cried over all the people who die in the world everyday, we'd all hang ourselves...or at the very least, life wouldn't go on. Grieving for people whom you feel either a personal connection or identification with is a defense mechanism against being emotionally overwhelmed by the death surrounding us every day.

You can also look it as healthy that people express grief, symbolically, through celebrities because grief has to be acknowledged somewhere - even if subconsciously underneath it all it's actually about something else.
