That's sad.  At one time she was at the top of the charts.

So sad.  Her boyfriend killed himself last month too.  She leaves behind two young children.  I read that she had some addiction problems (alcohol and prescription pills).  So sad.  :(  RIP

Looks like the news was confirmed by the local sherrif.  She shot herself.

Something that is not mentioned in either of the reports in this thread is that she also suffered from profound depression.

So sad. How despondent one much feel to think that is the only way out.

Two little boys lost their momma. One lost both parents.

I already prayed for all involved.

I wasn't aware of her until today.  It must be due to mental illness.  I understand she was very successful -- like that Amy Winehouse girl.  What a shame.

RIP.
