Ah yes, but who cared about her enough to make her a celebrity? Probably not most of the people here who are saying that they only care because it's another human being or because she's leaving an infant behind with no one to care for it. There are quite a few people who could care less whether it was Anna or someone that they didn't know, because it would be about the same. It's sad that a human died, but it's not more sad because she's a celebrity. I certainly know that I don't care if she's a celebrity. I never supported or cared for her. Hell I still don't know what she looks like. I've never really cared to figure out who she is and why she gets so much media attention. So, I'm with everyone else. It's sad that a human being died. It's sad that she's leaving behind an infant. It is in no way, nor should it be, any more sad just because of her social status.
