I just learned of this young woman's death and went Googling for any information I could find. There wasn't much, and what I did find, I kind of wish I didn't know. She was a good friend of mine when we were young.

Such a shame, isn't it?

Accidental death is always terrible, but it's especially tragic when the deceased is so young.
