So far awaiting autopsy results. Was found unresponsive. Think the past years have been hard for her with drug/alcohol issues. Think she was homeless at one point; husband's mother made her leave their trailer that she was paying the bills for. Sometimes you don't know what to believe from the tabloid newspapers/tv shows.

Oh my. I hadn't heard about that.
I remember seeing some unflattering pictures of her fairly recently on the internet. She did not look healthy at all.
So sad.

Oh, that's just so sad. Saw it on FB and was actually hoping it was fake news, didn't want to believe it.

I saw a show about her years ago. According to this program, she was not happy on happy days.... Forced into being a child star to make money for her parents....

I think she had mental illness issues too. She had a rough life. |

So sad, she was far too young! I was surprised at how young she was because happy days is set in the 50s, but was on in the 80s. I just thought she would have been much older until I realized I could subtract 30 years from how old I thought she was, I probably think the kids from that 70s show are older than they are too, lol.

This is so sad. The article yesterday only spoke about her husband and her mother-in-law. I wonder if she had any family and if she had contact with them.

Wow. Life is hard for a lot of child stars. It does seem that way. I often wonder how much of it is the lifestyle and social position they have at a young age, and how much it is that they often have parents who are willing to exploit their kids (and therefore would have had the problems that can stem from horrible parenting, regardless). |

To peak when you are a child must be very difficult. Most can never achieve that success as adults. I also think there must be something very off with the parent/child relationship to put your child into that atmosphere. I think most times it is not something the child wants but wish fulfillment of the parent. There are exceptions like Ron Howard who is very well adjusted and has gone on to make some of the best films ever, but he is the exception. |

It looks like she has a sister and 2 brothers, who at some point have all been involved with acting of some sort. None of the articles about her death have mentioned them -yet. It is sad that she passed at such an early age and apparently troubled. Even Henry Winkler mentioned her finally finding the peace she always longed for. |

Her costars and the Twitterverse shared some nice memories of Erin (<--- link). It made me tear up a little. I hope the rumors of an overdose aren't true. I always hate that for the family and for their legacy. |

Our local news reported that it was Stage 4 cancer, and they specifically stated (reported) that no drugs were found in her home.
