Depression and Suicide
Throughout her life, Blow battled with poor self confidence and bouts of severe depression. Her depression exacerbated near the end of her life after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She made at least three suicide attempts between 2003 and 2006 and often told friends she wanted to die. New York Magazine: The Sad Hatter (July 16, 2007) Blow died on May 7, 2007, after drinking a lethal dose of weed killer. -
