Me too. Such wasted talent. She must have had some bad demons. RIP.

Sad. Talented. Young. I care.

Only 27. Sad.

I never heard her music, only saw headlines. It is very sad. Agree with other PPs that addiction is a cruel disease. It does not matter if she was talented or not - she was someone's daughter/sister/friend - a human being.

She sure squandered an opportunity in life, and I don't have much respect for that.

Okay. But please respect the fact that addiction kills. She had a lot of enablers, and unfortunately didn't get the help she needed. She didn't plan on squandering her life. I am sure that is the last thing she wanted. She was sick.

I want to echo what others are saying. She had a disease, and it stole her talent.

Every single one of us has flaws and vices. It sad when anyone this young dies and even sadder to read righteous people on here, blow it off because she wasted her so called talent. We have all have some issues. She still has a family grieving.

Addiction is a terrible disease, and it is really sad when it kills. Unfortunately, it kills lots of people - but we really get a look at it when someone famous dies. It is a mental issue though, and although we tend to feel like addicts should just kick the habit, it's really hard and requires a lifetime of work. Plus, it's really hard to convince an addict they need to change while in the midst of their habit. Overall I think blaming the addict is just as bad as blaming someone who is depressed for not "snapping out of it".

She was very talented. Just messed up.

I think she was extremely talented. It is always sad when someone this young dies, and in this way.

I am not a huge fan, but it's sad to lose someone so young.
