Sad to read, but how would anyone know she died "quietly and peacefully" from suicide?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. And I don't know how I'd quantify a suicide by an autistic person in the first place. I guess I don't know exactly what Asperger's Syndrome is. What a sad story, either way.

It says Burt had 3 subsequent children after Nikki. What about Angie?

Nikki Bacharach died of suffocation using a plastic bag and helium, said Mike Feiler of the Ventura County coroner's office.

I guess it wasn't.
