Very sad that she was so influenced by her husband and died in such a tragic way.

This sounds very different than her husbands remarks.

Seems she had many more meds at her disposal than actually in her system at the time of death.

she must have been a hypocondriac. probably her ugly leech of a husband was making her unhappy...

I agree her husband is a leech but no one forced her to stay with him. She was a very attractive woman and she could have easily found someone else. The real issue was her addiction to drugs.

I remember seeing her on tv in an interview last year and she was really rude and giddy acting. Funny thing but she reminded me of my bi-polar neighbor.
