OMG…that is just awful. Condolences to her family and friends.
Wow…so young. 42. Prayers and thoughts to his family
I had one almost 2 years ago now. Seeing this breaks my heart. I was 34 when I had mine but I survived. My heart goes out to her family.
Miss O’brien, I’m sure, was a lovely lady,who deserves any and all the accolades that a person can give her.The lovliest flowers in GOD’S garden welcomes you into HIS KINGDOM.
serves her right..that is a punishment for giving jay leno 5 hours of prime time!!!! NBC sucks…
Wow @ karma…
your glad she died because of a stupid tv show? what has this world come to??
grow up
That would be “you’re”. Your comments would carry more weight if they were literate.
Grow up.
@ Karma. You obviously don’t know the true meaning of that word, or you wouldn’t have said something like that on an open forum.
karma – glad you believe in that garbage. Maybe you’ll get “yours” for posting such an ignorant message. And that goes for the retard spamming this thread with porn as well. If you’ve never had a family member or friend go down from a brain aneurysm, you should probably shut up. My High school buddy survived his, but gained 100 pounds and sometimes still has to use a wheelchair 11 years afterward. Furthermore, this woman might have had a child and a husband, you heartless twit.
My mom had a brain aneurysm last August and lived…only 10% who have one make it to a hospital alive. People who hide behind the anonymity of blogs posts are quick to make these stupid remarks because they have no social skills away from a computer.
yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! die die die die die die
die die die…!!!!!!!!!
yippie yay!!!!yippie yay!!!!!!
i totally agree with karma..this is the repercussion for cancelling LIFE and letting fans down!!!!!she deserves it!!!so does her husband and children…your ‘LIFE’ has been taken away because NBC took our ‘LIFE’ away…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I’M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!! KARMA,YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!
you all should be ashamed of yourselves for calling it “karma” your bad karma will probably happen soon enough for posting such a stupid comment. karma will do bad for you 1 day, just watch. brain aneourysm (however it’s spelled)is very serious. onyl 10 percent of people that have make it to teh hospital alive. so you people that have nothign to do except say karma abotu this lady, watch out, because you are next
