    BBC article dances all around but does not say it was suicide. No outlet has said it was suicide. (It was most probably suicide.)

      Yeah, just read an article about her death and it was 90% about her son committing suicide last year, about how devastated she was about it, about how she had her own suicide crisis back in 2016, and giving links to 988 and other suicide-prevention hotlines. And ended with “her cause of death is currently unknown.”

      Suicide is unfortunately kind of “contagious” so I can understand the extreme hesitancy to come out and state that it happened to someone who has large numbers of fans or is otherwise prominent in the public eye like this.
