TMZ is saying the police think it’s a homocide.
It’s sad that most people will remember her for the 2 minutes on A.I.
Prayers go to her family and friends.

Too bad she was such a vile person, all she’ll be remembered for is her disgusting rants.
Did you know her?
Oh my this is too sad. She was so full of vigor, so lovable and demented and strong. I am amazed at how personally sad I feel for her, and for this loss.
This is devastating news. Is the car repairable?
“Colorful” behavior? Is that how the mental health officials now refer to manic-depression?
Oh well. One less idiot running around.
I don’t watch the show, so I don’t know who she is. But my condolences go out to her family. Anybody dying at age 25 is a tragedy.
maybe she my the choice to be hit. she seemed very unhappy & now she does not have to feel anymore pain. now she can sing in heaven’s choir.
Wow, some of you guys are just heartless and cold. So what if she was rude and vile on the show. It is a human life we are talking about, be respectful.
such a tragedy…our thoughts are with the family…

This is really sad. My heart goes out to her family and friends. It’s ironic her death is providing her with the fleeting fame her life couldn’t.
