I really liked her as the host of "Worst Cooks in America." She had such a bright personality. May she find peace.

I read about this not too long ago. It's sad to know that she was suffering and no one knew about it. I hope she is at peace now

Holy crap, that's a crazy combo off drugs. Basically enough downers to put you in a coma and then speed to keep you awake. The human heart isnt fond of that combination.
