I've just seen the news about Michelle and am so, so shocked. Probably the most shocked I've been at a celebrity death alongside Liam Payne. I actually reacted out loud.

She's only a few years younger than me so I feel like I "grew up" with her.

This is so sad.

I wouldn't wish childhood stardom on my worst enemy.
There are so few that come out unscathed. Parents who put their child in before the kid can make the choice for themselves and understand what they are going into really need to stop.

Tim Curry once gave an interview where he said one of the worst things about the industry is "child actors who don't even really understand why they are there", he felt very sad for them.

There were pictures of her last year, and she looked awful—gaunt, sunken eyes, obvious hair loss, and she looked jaundiced. Add that to the stories over the years about her having a drink problem, which had people putting two and two together, and while many were genuinely worried, she unsurprisingly argued back that they were trolls and couldn't deal with the fact she wasn't a teenager anymore, but it was clear she wasn't well. I assume this was before the transplant. What makes it so sadder as she put pictures up just before xmas where she looked really happen and well.

Such sad news about Michelle. She was always so stunning but I guess child stardom had a major effect on her like it has many others.

I never followed her social media but have been reading about how genuinely concerned people were and that she didn't appreciate it. I imagine it can sometimes get hard to tell who is just being a fool and who is earnest but it's so sad.

Life is bloody cruel, apparently her mum found her. :(

Yeah, there were definitely trolls being nasty people, and I can see why she acted the way she did, but it was a genuine surprise when the pictures popped up as she looked so ill.

From what I've seen, there are reports saying there were complications with her liver and thyroid, so they must have known there was an issue of some kind. Her mother last talked to her on Tuesday night, then found her lying in her bed on Wednesday morning. I can only imagine how heartbreaking it must have been for her. She had probably thought the worst was over after the transplant, then this.

I'm thinking carbon monoxide poisoning or something similar to Brittany Murphy and her husband. Awful news 😔

Their dog was found dead too. No foul play suspected so I’m thinking CO poisoning too. To anyone reading this, get detectors… and if you have them already, make sure they’re working regularly!!!! ☹. X
