Why post on this thread for something else than wishing RIP to a young girl that has passed away? She really did great while she was here, and there's legions of fans worldwide and she'll be remembered years from now. RIP little girl. And that's it...

It's sad to see artists die so young. The amount of suicides or overdoses in music these last few years should be raising some eyebrows somewhere. Why prevent a train wreck when the tracks are lined with spectators. It's a shame.

You really think it's going to be something other than drugs?
There's even the possibility that she died of natural causes.
She did. On several occasions. Even as recently as last month.
At 27 I doubt that very much, but more importantly do I think it does not make any sense to speculate,assume or guess since the post mortem, which I hear is scheduled for the coming week will most likely give an answer to this question.

Sad, sad news! She was a great talent! Whether drugs and alcohol were the cause or just a contributing factor to poor health, they probably didn't help in either case. I've buried too many friends and family members due to addiction to drugs or alcohol. It's always sad to see someone with so much promise go too soon.

I'm not here to argue. Or assume or speculate.
It is a well known fact that one can die at any age from natural causes.
Unfortunately, we have the tabloids to thank for that. We seemed to enjoy reading about her problems and her slow demise a little too much.
I guess I do have a problem when people tell others what they should or shouldn't say. If you don't think those words are appropriate, then make an argument defending your position. I'm prepared to debate the whole point of her becoming a legend with you as long as you don't tell me or others what should or shouldn't be said. She already has taken over the 1st, 3rd and 4th slots in ITunes download charts and it hasn't even been 24 hours since the news of her death broke.
Not surprised. I don't find her death tragic. I do find the fact that a human being slowly poisoned herself and ruined her life to be sad, but she had a problem for years, plenty of money to pay for treatment, yet she strongly refused and continued to ruin herself. She dug her own grave.
Really? Controversy sells as well as death in this case. And it's a terrible shame, but that's the world we live in.
I am aware of that and did not say anything contrary.
But some have more of a liberal definition of "natural causes" than others and the term is not always an entirely apolitical one.
I believe crack was her main choice of poison. But I heard it ( Doctor interview) also was Opium as of late.
Saw her drinking allot of wine at the itunes festival; enough to kill a person if they drink that much wine all the time..
