[info]stormyskies 20th-Dec-2009 11:18 pm (UTC)
My exact reaction, omg. :( :( :(
[info]tcbabe 20th-Dec-2009 06:53 pm (UTC)
drugs or eating disorder?

so sad :(
[info]flvy 20th-Dec-2009 06:53 pm (UTC)
I'd say eating disorder D:
[info]thebigquiet 20th-Dec-2009 06:54 pm (UTC)
It was my first thought but it seems crass to speculate right away.
[info]lo_anxiety 20th-Dec-2009 07:31 pm (UTC)
NOWAY;
SAY IT ISN'T TRUE.
[info]krazykat88 20th-Dec-2009 07:48 pm (UTC)
That was my first thought too, especially because on the pictures on TMZ, she looks almost skeletal in a couple
[info]scivolare 20th-Dec-2009 10:12 pm (UTC)
Sadly, when I read that she was in full cardiac arrest, this was IMMEDIATELY my first thought. Confirmed by the photos of her next to the article.
[info]therealycats 20th-Dec-2009 06:54 pm (UTC)
Honestly, eating disorder is where my mind went. She had gotten so small over the years...
[info]omg_its_drj 20th-Dec-2009 06:54 pm (UTC)
all of the above
[info]trendreject 20th-Dec-2009 06:59 pm (UTC)
Even if she had recovered from it, I'd say eating disorder.
[info]amiliea 20th-Dec-2009 07:01 pm (UTC)
I think it's too early to speculate. Other factors can bring about cardiac arrest, so I don't want to be quick to judge.
[info]ladycake 20th-Dec-2009 07:02 pm (UTC)
drugs, from a 1st-hand source. lots of pills for years.
[info]amelia_heinle 20th-Dec-2009 07:14 pm (UTC)
murder. i say the creepy husband somehow brought on the heart attack.

[info]brazenflight 20th-Dec-2009 07:27 pm (UTC)
drogas
[info]noisome 20th-Dec-2009 07:39 pm (UTC)
i would say an unhealthy combination of the two
[info]jlb88 both20th-Dec-2009 07:43 pm (UTC)
i'm pretty sure i have heard things that she used coke and so did her husband.
[info]highd 20th-Dec-2009 07:56 pm (UTC)
I am saying neither. A college friend of mine died from an undiagnosed heart condition. He was only 34 and one day got up went to the bathroom, went into his living room, sat down on the couch and died. He had 2 valves that were leaking at different times and no one knew it.

This is very sad.
[info]numb_crystal 20th-Dec-2009 08:00 pm (UTC)
i'd say a combo of both, which is fucking sad.

i have loved her since clueless came out and have watched king of the hills :( blah
[info]wazibear 20th-Dec-2009 09:08 pm (UTC)
I am inclinded to believe drugs. Interestingly enough about a month ago her husband had a heart attack on a plane and the plane had to make an emergency landing. That is just a little too odd for me--husband and wife both young suffer heart attacks less than a month apart?? Something funky was going on...very sad.
[info]lime_skittles 20th-Dec-2009 11:19 pm (UTC)
both is my guess
[info]nickthomas 21st-Dec-2009 08:07 pm (UTC)
combination of both.
[info]kekekekekekeke 20th-Dec-2009 06:53 pm (UTC)
holy shit this is so fucking sad

the ramen girl was so qt and Luanne Platter was HILARIOUS oh god ;-;

[info]stickykeys633 20th-Dec-2009 08:15 pm (UTC)
