1. should it be called an attempt after it succeeds?

just an English question.

2. Had to list the title of the article

That's what they had on CNN.

3. Poorly written headline

I had the same reaction.

Suicidal intent can come and go.

So, if there was no suicidal intent at the time of her demise, I guess that's one way to work out that the immediate circumstances of her death were not a "suicide" per se. That is, the suicide had failed, but she did not recover from the attempt.

Still, that's a lot to try to convey in a headline.

5. i read another article with comments and i think she was taken off life support

she was put on life support after the suicide attempt.

i guess that's how they got that headline. i don't watch this show but most of the comments say she seemed like a good person based on the shows and probably had depression.

6. RIP, and this is truly the worst written CNN headline ever

7. You never know, do you?

Someone young, beautiful, wealthy, successful, loved--at least that's how she appeared--doesn't want up live anymore. How can that be? You never know what's going on in someone's life, what demons torment them and why. I hope her loved ones find peace and understanding before long. Now comes their torment and, probably, regrets and guilt, and the "if onlys." Oh how awful.

8. Hard to understand why someone so attractive would try to kill themselves at such a young age.

Especially after rising into the demi-celebrity that reality TV can provide. She must have been unusually fucked up.
