Am doing more checking around, and it's weird...her Facebook page, where things seemed to have started, says it definitely happened - that someone who was with her when she passed confirmed it. But there's nothing official elsewhere yet, besides an article in OC Weekly. What is known for certain is that she was diagnosed with cancer not long ago, and is/was very ill. If I jumped the gun here I deeply apologize. |

No, you didn't, Allen - unfortunately (if the BBC's to be believed). What a shame. |
