Tragic, she basically wasted her life.
with her talent - it would have been wonderful to see just what she could do through the years.
as to her lifestyle choices - she looked old enough to be snookie's mom...and older than me! I agree OM1 -- she looks like a meth/crack addict...and it is very very hard to overcome those addictions...one "hit" can make you an addict!
So unexpected! Just caught it on BBC News. If it was suicide, the bad reviews of one her coming-back-concert that resulted in them all being cancelled must have really done it in for her.
