Another sad story.
It shows that it doesn't matter how successful you are, insecurities and problems can still plague us.
Years of suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, led to the lovely Karen Carpenter's heart giving out, just a month before her 33rd Birthday. Very Sad :-( :-(

Sad about poor Kirsty MacColl:-(

From Wikipedia-
Kirtsy MacColl's Death:

In 2000, following her participation in the presentation of a radio programme she had done for the BBC on Cuba, MacColl took a holiday in Cozumel, Mexico, with her sons and her partner, musician James Knight.

On 18 December 2000, she and her sons went diving at the Chankanaab reef, part of the National Marine Park of Cozumel, in a designated diving area that watercraft were restricted from entering. With the group was a local veteran divemaster, Iván Díaz. As the group were surfacing from a dive, a speeding powerboat entered the restricted area.

MacColl saw the boat coming before her sons did; Louis (then 13) was not in the boat's path, but Jamie (then 15) was. She was able to push him out of the way (he sustained minor head and rib injuries) but in doing so, she was hit by the boat and killed instantly.

MacColl's remains were repatriated to the United Kingdom and she was cremated after a funeral service at Mortlake Crematorium in London.
