Sarah Goldberg Dead: ‘7th Heaven’ And ‘90210’ Actress Was 40

Me neither. Now, the pastor.... I have no words...

May she rest in peace.

Very sad, especially dying of natural causes at age 40.

So sad. On 7th Heaven, she married Matt (oldest son) and was in the last 2-3 seasons.

She played Matt's wife. Her character name was Sarah, too. There was the big to-do because she was Jewish and they wanted a Jewish wedding. She had curly hair on the show.

She was Liam's mom on 90210.
So sad and kind of eerie happening on the same day the other news did.
She was very young, I am sorry for her friends and family.

I thought the same thing. But, maybe they were just trying to say that she did not kill herself, or take drugs, or drink, or anything else that a lot of celebrities do to ruin their lives. 

I always think along the same lines when I read an obituary of someone in their 90s that says "cause of death is unknown". Well... yes, I'd say it's known, it's because they were in their 90s! 

Anyway, I had no idea who Sarah Goldberg was but it's very sad, especially because she was so young.

I've heard of people dying very young due to brain aneurisms. There was DJ in Chicago that died very suddenly and very young in the 1990s, he had a brain aneurism. It was heartbreaking.

Actually you would for a teen, or even a child.  It's a medical definition meaning the death was caused by internal disease or malfunction - without external forces.  

It's hard to say. My dad died in his sleep at the age of 63. My grandparents died at the ages of 98 and 99. If he had been 70, I'd still feel cheated out of the extra 28 and 29 years I could have had with him like I had with my grandparents.

ETA: Her name is not familiar to me, so sad she died at such a young age.

63 seems young to me too. I think I read that the coroner couldn't determine the cause of death, so called it natural. Even so, my uncle died at 49 of natural causes. He was a drug addict and a drinker his whole life. At the time of death he had stopped drugs and alcohol. His death wasn't natural even though that's what the death certificate says. My grandmother died two weeks before my uncle of natural causes. She was 90. That I could accept.

I'm not trying to make sense. I'm simply describing how I feel. Yes, my grandmother officially had a heart attack, but her heart had been beating for 90 years...nobody lives forever.

I guess in reality I'm thinking that FUCK I'm 41 and my time could be up tomorrow...and it would be natural. I think at this age what's going to take me out is a car accident, cancer (which by these definitions IS natural), or some other freak accident. I don't ever consider that I could go to sleep tonight and never wake up and have it be determined as natural.

And really, I'm not here to argue. Like I said. YOu can tell me it's 'natural' until you are blue in the face. I can't accept that it's natural to die at 40. It's not natural for parents to bury their children.
