I didn't know someone from that show had died. How'd she die?

Also, with the exception of her and Jonathon Brandis, everyone else on that list was over the age of 50...not a good year for celebrities over that age...

Another person we lost this year: Howie Epstein, former bass player for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-he died in February. Think he was in his late 40s...:sigh: :(.
