Some of us can multitask

[Taylor42]

Does anyone else think she “offed” herself?

Thanks

You’re so welcome, my FRiend! Anytime!

[Hardastarboard]

“The Running Man.”

I just watched that again the other day. Scary how much the scenario parallels today.

[CodeToad]

And yet another hollywierd celebrity done in by drugs. This has been going on for decades.

Does anyone else think she “offed” herself?

The favorite exercise at Free Republic: jumping to conclusions.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s probably at least safe to presume that the Kennedys didn’t off this particular starlet.

[verity]

“This one says she had a history of hypoglycemia while others say she had type II diabetes.”

This is not inconsistent. Oral anti-diabetic drugs such as metformin and insufficient carb intake can result in hypoglycemia. Conversely, excessive carb intake can result in hyperglycemia.

Find the docs and force feed them all these pills for six months. After that let them go, if they are still standing.

[Taylor42]

Paramedics moved Brittany from the bathroom to the master bedroom, where they found a slew of prescription drugs -- "A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent's husband's name, the decedent's mother's name and unidentified third party names."

Do we need to look any further until the results of the autopsy?

[Sloth]

And, there were a shocking number of strong prescription meds on Brittany's nightstand.

Shocking, I suppose, to anyone who's grown up among isolated tribesmen in the Amazon rain forest and consequently has no knowledge of Hollywood culture.

“
Any physical abnormality (shortness of breath and severe abdominal pains)
of more than a few days is worthy of a trip to the hospital or at
least her physician. I don’t get it.
“

Amen and Amen to that. Especially on “the shortness of breath”.

If my mom and I had insisted that Dad went to the emergency room
after he had “a cold” for two days...the actual heart attack he’d
had would have been diagnosed and he might be here today.

Mom and I kick ourselves a bit...but he was a tough Depression-era
kid...so a heart attack was just another bit of an inconvenience to him.

SO, if a relative/friend even SEEMS to have shortness of breath for a
short time...take them to the ER/Doctor. No matter how much they
complain about “inconveniencing everybody”.

[Frantzie]

Whoa is right. A woman that young taking all that crap. Should should have jogged and exercised to feel better.

Do actors and actresses just stress constantly about getting the next part to avoid being broke? Or worry about getting old?

[Frantzie]

Bingo. The NFL is so pro-Obama it is disgusting. The suckers will sell their souls for ball games and reality TV. I cancelled TV because even if you do not watch CNN - a portion of your cable or sat TV bill goes to the networks that hate you and your family.

[woodbutcher1963]

I thought she as looked kinda sickly. She had that sunken eye look that coke heads I know have had.

[brytlea]

I recall they said this morning on Fox that she had vomited, I wonder if they were really trying to clean her up?

[MarkL]

I really should throw out that old crap I have but I keep it around in case I need it again.

Don't "throw old medications out." You're always better off taking it to a pharmacy to be disposed of. That was you're sure that it won't wind up in the water table. The worst thing to do is just toss it down the drain or in a toilet, which I've seen people do.
