Gotta be drugs or suicide, right? Haven't seen much from her in a while.

It would appear that the internet was right when they expressed concern about her health

most people probably deafult to eurotrip when seeing her name but I will always think of Harriet the Spy first. yes I know it's a "girl movie" but I friggin loved it when it came out .

That generation of teenage stars has produced many adults who are now struggling.

I wonder what happened to them and who caused it in their youth—Bynes, Spears, Lohan, etc.

Apparently, people had concerns only a month ago about her unhealthy appearance.

Hollywood has been eating up and churning out kids that grow into fricked up adults for a long, long time. It's definitely not exclusive to this generation.

Just look at Judy Garland, Drew Barrymore, Carrie Fisher, Danny Bonaduce, etc.

ABC News is saying it is believed she died of natural causes.

I guess it's "natural" for a 39 year old's heart to give out from years of substance abuse, if that's what happened.

Absolutely terrible.

Hollywood has done NOTHING to earn admiration, other than elevating playing pretend to demigod status.

The liver transplant story would be outside of "natural causes", in my book.

She’s legit looked bad over the past few months, enough that her fans were right to voice their concerns on social media.

Saw an article suggesting complications from a liver transplant, which would make sense for someone that young looking so sick.

Why do y'all always want everything to be so sinister? There are plenty of reasons to need a transplant that don't involve drugs and alcohol.

I had a friend that died a year ago today. She was also 39.
Had the same problem with the way her hair looked and sunken in face.
Organ failure from alcoholism.
