61. Hallucinating due to hunger she thought she saw a pile of coke on the street.

62. No Pam, I'm not wrong. What you're saying is an OPINION. Do you know what an OPINION is??? I also have an opinion. You don't know jack about whether or not the Bible is true. You are going on blind faith and not hard evidence because their is none. Although their is evidence for evolution but I"m sure you will deny that. Please try to think beyond your own sphere of life. Those who are able to do that are truly the most educated.

63. "Each of us has felt suicidal at some point in our teens and the ones who don't are liars. We all cry. We each hurt."
I agree with most of your post. However everyone does not feel suicidal whether during teen years or later on in life.
There are many people who have never contemplated suicide. I was a teenager a long time ago and I assure you not only did I not contemplate suicide, but had pretty good teenage years without drama. Both sides of the coin are possible. My prayers to her family.

64. Her wx-boyfriend "casually" mentioned that they "shared" a cat. Where is the cat? What if she fell accidentally, or accidentally on purpose. What if someone else cur the netting and she discovered it when she went to let the cat on the balcony then went for the cat then went over. The time line is certainly tight. Got home at 5 am, went to sleep, presumably, got up...and jumped?

65. Yes Molly - I clearly know what an "opinion" is. That is both what we are typing. The fact is - you keep arguing something with me that I didn't bring up in the first place. You keep lumping me into some category that you totally want nothing to do with - I'm not forcing anything on you - but you sure act like I am. I can with great certainty think beyond a lot of things including my sphere of life. I do have my own beliefs and you have yours - but don't put me down without knowing me or what I stand for. Education is good - but if one is too educated they forget the simple things in life, like maybe 'courtesy'.

66. This is truly sad. She seemed to have to it and she was very beautiful. I just cannot fathom why she would want to kill herself. And to do it by jumping off 9 stories? I agree... it seems suspicious.

67. #1 and #6 must be the same person b/c neither one can spell!!!!! First of all you need to learn propper English grammar and learn how to spell before you speak your mind in America. You speak about the president(s) being the reason the economy is so horrible. It doesn't matter who is president, they all are money hungry, they tell you lies while the are trying to get your votes and then when they finally get in, they don't do anything to improve the economy.
Now to the real reason we need to comment on this posting,,, You ask where her family was through all this?? There are so many people out there who are living a second life. They put on a front so that people think their life is perfect. Maybe her family DID know that something was wrong but they couldn't do anything.
BTW... please take some English classes at your local college.

68. Just something to think about....her suicide may sound suspicious, but if I were pushed off of a nine story balcony, you better believe that I would be screaming my head off. And witnesses say that all that they heard was the thump on the street. Some thought that she was hit by a car....So my guess is,.. it is what it is, sadly enough. What is so sad about this story is that she could have used her fame to better the world by supporting a cause. But she didn't see her own worth, questioned her existence and her abilities, or didn't realize what she could do with her fame. Too sad. She had everything, and tossed it all away!
