One less druggie. Let's hope that it saves some more people from following her hedonistic stupidity. Sorry, no sympathy.
 

aeron, you certainly seem to have no sympathy regarding this matter. Nothing says you have to.

She had a celebrity upbringing. I wonder what in her life made her turn to drugs. She may have had feelings of inadequacy despite her fame and loved character.

Who knows. I was sorry to hear of this though.
 
Carrie Fisher was a generous donor and worker on behalf of the Make A Wish Foundation, The Midnight Mission, which gives aid to the homeless, and to the Alzheimer's Association, Autism Speaks and various Animal Rights Groups. In spite of her personal battles with mental disorders she supported others. She was a 2014 GHA Honoree. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wnfxAr5Q-KY

She will certainly be missed. RIP, Princess.

Hope I get this last thing in. This should really get to a certain someone here. This meme was posted on a rat lover page I belong to on Facebook. Moments later some spoil sport called it inappropriate. Everyone else enjoyed the smile through the sadness.

Rest in peace Carrie, another one gone too soon. Seems like this year has been very bad for losing celebrities, that's for sure. :(
 
Well, Seabreeze, Carrie, WAS an animal rights activist and all. So, I felt it was right that the animals notice her passing.
Also, just saw a clip of her from a recent interview. I guess she was talking about fans identifying her with Leia. To paraphrase, she noted how people would approach her and call out "Hey, Princess Leia" She said "It is as if they expect me to turn and say "yes?"

It looks like she paid the price for her cocaine use which is apparently hard on the heart. Ironic she passes shortly after George Michael who also came to fame in the 1980s, the era of "the party". As a celebrity in the 1980s one could say they wrote the end of their story back then. Their success allowed them to write their own final chapter.

Also keep in mind she was at the end of the long flight from London to Los Angeles. Long flights and/or cramped spaces are known to cause things like deep vein thrombosis or blood clots. I don't think she was a physically healthy person. I was shocked when they said she was 60, not 70.
 
I know she was 60 at her passing, but never did the math to realize that she was just 19 when the original Star Wars came out. WOW
 
Preliminary autopsy inclusive. Some say she was 'high as a kite' within months of her death. Probably something other than heart trouble or stroke when it's all said an done.

I know of families where there is no genetic history of heart trouble especially under 70 yet their children who abused drugs and alcohol on heart meds.
 
UPDATE-Coroner's Toxicology Tests-Drugs In System

UPDATE: The coroner's toxicology tests were completed/released.

Traces of cocaine and other drugs found in Fisher's system at time of death. Also noted was a build up of fatty tissue in arteries although not quite sure was 'the' precise cause of death was.

The cocaine was the most notable but the heroin and mdma/ectasy drugs were in trace amount. Fisher also a smoker and on other medications.

Should've put update(which is done now). I get conflicted on older stories when new information comes in. Should it be treated as a story on it's own or should it be an update.

With Fisher I was surprised by the number of drugs found in her system. I don't think was a relapse but rather a continuation of her lifestyle and mindset.
