It looks true. She died of a Heroin overdose.

Too much to go into, and nothing by itself conclusive, but all the people making claims of her death seem to check out. This includes some stuff from years ago. The clearest sign yet is Mackenzee Pierce's post here, on Lubben's blog. The photo that looks fake is probably just a result of bright sunlight and the photographic settings her father had to use to capture it. It can't hurt to find her death certificate, but taking everything together, I'm going with Occam's Razor. I'd love to think she faked her death, but it's just too fucking elaborate.

Now can someone please reassure me that she was really just another self-centered, lying whore who led herself to her own demise? Otherwise it's gonna bother me to remember her early scenes with that deer-in-the-headlights look that seemed too good to be faked, and the whole Del Toro thing that backed up the impression of a sweet girl hopelessly out of her depth. Tell me I was a sucker, please.

RIP Maryam.
