Death
She died of a prescription drug overdose on May 4, 1999. Her death was officially ruled a suicide, though some believe it was an accidental overdose. She struggled with addiction since her teen years, using alcohol, illegal and prescriptions drugs on an almost daily basis. She claimed the day before her death in an interview with Howard Stern that she was now sober, and engaged to her manager Robert Menchaca. After the interview she and her manager began a cross country trip, stopping at his mothers home in Moore, Oklahoma. She was found dead in their recreational vehicle after overdosing on vanadom and vicodin. -
