At the age of 37, she was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

And, even though he did the things he did, I still missed him and wanted to see him. So, I went down to visit him and, of course, we ended up, you know, having sex and I got pregnant and I tried to commit suicide." 5.
