Yesterday's FR thread, which did not give a cause of death, is here:

Yesterday's thread said: "After the loss of her beloved husband-hero Warren in May of 2002, (my mother) suffered from severe depression that she never overcame," said Michelle Bowles. "The coroner's report will tell you she purposely overdosed on antidepressants. The reality is she died due to complications of the heart. If you knew Linda, you knew her beloved Warren. To say she had a weak or failed heart would be untrue. To say she suffered from a broken heart would be an understatement."

He called Bowles' death a "real tragedy and a real loss to those who read it and was a good conservative?"

Is it just me, or it this sentence unreadable?

As to Linda, I too will miss her. She would show up on KSFO on occasion, and I found her to be a witty and inspirational woman. I knew she was still mourning her husband, but had no idea of the depths of it. RIP Linda.

I am sad and very disappointed. Suicide is the MOST SELFISH thing to do....what about her daughter??? Couldn't she have thought about her??

Linda was the only person I ever wrote to to tell how much I admired her clear thinking writing. I had wondered why I hadn't read her lately.

Well ... while I don't agree with her method, now she and her beloved are together in heaven.

How Tragic that a Woman with Such a Keen Mind Couldn't be Saved!

I, for One, Loved her Commentary; I think we Let Her Down--I Believe that there were Lots of Us who would have Supported Her Had We Known!

WHAT a TRAGIC LOSS!!
