Vague! Not being a diabetes apologist, but given she'd just had a liver transplant I wonder how they decided it was diabetes complications without an autopsy; was the liver transplant related to pancreatitis?

She looked really unwell for an extended period so I'm not positing she was murdered or anything.

According to Game Show Obsessed Filipino MovieBob Clone Cory Anotado he died because he saw some shitty remake that just came out of Tic Tac Dough.

Should mention that the guy who runs this channel isn't him but rather this gay former TV producer named John Ricci who's buttbuddies with this TV idol who was on some TV show in the early 80s and he skinwalks as Wink while uploading a bunch of game show pilots and other shows that haven't been shown in years. John also apparently ran some game show convention that didn't go well but this is coming from Cory who's a lolcow himself so it's mainly just retarded drama.

Umm, they're taking donations for the rape and incest survivors network. Doesn't sound like she had a very good childhood. Suicide?

The UK Mirror (A) is saying that her parents implied that she pilled herself to death in the statement they made regarding her death.

Last month i found out my first gf killed herself in september 2024. I had not seen her in a long time, and after a vivid dream about us lying together in silence, i awoke at 3am and was compelled to cyberstalk her, to only find a police report asking for any info about her family.
She overdosed on ritalin and put a plastic bag over her head and was not discovered for 5 days. She had no funeral and was disposed of without ceremony.
she was worth so much more than that.

Someone I worked with died Thursday night when a train crashed his car after it got stuck on the tracks. I wasn't close to him, but it is surreal to not see him at work. :(

You have my condolences. 💜

It is weird how something like that impacts us even though we never met the person; a by-proxy bond.

I work at a larger company and we have had two deaths within our team since late last year. We're all remote, so it's mostly chat notifications and emails. At least one was an accident and I'm not sure of the other. Neither were particularly old as both in their 40s or 50s.

But, they had families and work friends and achievements and challenges; a life of ups and downs, twists and turns, loves and losses, elation and heartache.

Just like you. Just like me.

But, even though I've worked at large organizations before, I don't believe I can't recall similar announcements being made. I'm sure there were some, but in a different department.

Maybe that's why deaths like those impact us, because they are us. Subtle reminders of our mortality and our significance.

Were nothing more than a chat message, an email, a moment of silence to a select few outside our family circle. That's a sobering thought.

So, remember to spend time where it counts, not just where it's required.

(Note: I've worked at large organizations before, I don't believe I can't recall similar announcements being made. I'm sure there were some, but in a different department. 2025 just hits different.)

(Note note: You should ask about the person who passed and maybe discuss it with your manager or work group. Maybe some people on your team knew the person and can share a story or two. After all, we're all remembered until we're forgotten.)
