Holy shit that was not something I expected to read. So sad, it did look like she was getting her life back on track recently. Im hoping it was natural as sad as that sounds and not what I fear at that young an age.

I don't even know what to say. I was a longtime fan. I know there were rumours she'd been ill, but she'd look healthier again in recent Instagram posts. I'm in shock, to be honest. It's so fucking sad.

I know, when I read it, I dropped my jaw. I liked her quite a bit. Saw a news item that said she had a liver transplant and wondered if she died from some sort of rejection or liver failure.
 
I also immediately thought of Wacky and Tom, my wife told me the news from the couch as she was reading her phone and I said, "Oh holy cow that's terrible! Are Captain Wacky and Tomtrek going to be okay?"

She looked at me with a blank stare that I've come to recognize as the "WTF but it's not worth saying that out loud" stare, and my eldest child said, "Captain who? Who are you talking about dada?" and I had to seriously consider what I said next. The idea that my kid would google "ishcabittle troll kingdom" and find a thousand "INDEED LOL BONC" flashed across my vision like a shot.

All that aside, it is a truly sad thing, Brooke and I rewatch Buffy once every five years or so and Michelle feels like family in that weird media consumptive way. She was much too young for that untimely end.

I'm still very sad but this made me a little happy.
