RIP Tara [title edited by MNHQ]

[bulletjournal]

I never feel cheerful about celebrities passing away, I did not know her, but she always striked me as a very sad girl, and her death is a bit of shock. She had so many opportunities, but did not seem to find her place. RIP Tara.

She was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year.

She did always seem troubled. So young, so sad.

Its "breaking news" everywhere right now. Unexplained death, so not necessarily caused by her brain tumour... Poor woman.

It is tasteless to make it into an AIBU.

It is very unlikely it was her pituitary adenoma that caused her death

BBC report here, doesn't sound as if she died from the brain cancer:

Oh dear! That's very sad

It's always sad when someone dies relatively young. Her poor family too. Poor lass.

as "chat" is part of the "fun and game" topic, it did not really feel appropriate there either.

AIBU makes it about you though, the OP. This is about a person who has sadly died.

I often get the impression peopel want to rush to be the first to post on here when someone famous dies - for the benefit who don't get their news primarily from a news source.

There's always the news section, but it's sad.

Yes, she was very young.

offs leave the op alone. people use AIBU for everything now.
yes Op its very sad

It very carefully doesn't say she died from a brain tumour. Hers was a non malignant pituitary tumour so I guess the jury has to be out on what has happened. I am sorry about it, no age at all.

as we are all connected to internet to access the forum, I don't think posters are likely to be unaware of the news and current events.

I have reported my thread awhile ago, because it does sound insensitive. I am work, and had to go hiding in the bathroom because I felt upset for bizarre reasons and wanted to speak with someone. Obviously I can't discuss in real life. I did not mean to be offensive at all.

I had no idea. She was so young.

I remember her dating a millionaire and for her birthday he gave her one thousand pounds to buy something. She was so furious she took the money gave the lot to a homeless gut begging outside Harvey Nichols. She was mad because her boyfriend didn't tale the tone to choose her somethinf and insulted her with cash.

I think it's sad. I'm not sad as such when older people who have done amazing things and have had great lives die because dying in old age after a fulfilled life isn't really a sad thing, it's something we all hope for.
TPT was young and also so troubled, what a waste.

I'd have to disagree - the posters saying 'oh dear' 'oh no' etc show they've seen it here first.

Such a shame, 45 is no age.

CoolJazz yes I think it makes a huge difference. People on here are guessing and speculating (or downright stating as fact something which s not) as the cause of death. Just get news from the BBC and stop gossiping about a real person with a real family who has died. I find it awful.

I didn't know she had died

How awful for her family and friends

Always liked her

CoolJazz I rest my case. Depressing.

It is really sad. 45 is no age. Such a shame.
