Yes, a tragic loss and a preventable one. She was a trainwreck for years and her death shouldn't surprise anyone. She, like so many wonderful talents before her...Janis Joplin, Chris Farley, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, and hundreds more, should be used as examples to our youth to just say "NO" to drugs. Don't make her into some kind of icon for kids to look up to, her talent will always be there on DVD and video, but her legacy should be a lesson of what NOT to do.
