Lucy Gordon left 2 suicide notes before hanging herself in the flat that she shared with her boyfriend in Paris. Gordon was 28 year old & she played the role of a reporter in Spider-Man 3. Her father said that the post-mortem has proved that she died from hanging herself.
Lucy Gordon’s suicide reminds me of Heath Ledger & Nafisa Joseph. Strangely Heath Ledger too was 28 year old at the time of his death. “He was found dead, face-down and naked at the foot of his bed in his rented SoHo apartment in Manhattan. There were prescription drugs, including sleeping pills, by his bed.” There have been speculations about suicide but no one is sure as to what killed him. His death was a huge loss. And we are all sorry for that. He had the potential to become a legend. He was one of the most talented artists.
I don’t know if people remember Nafisa. She used to be a VJ on MTV. Nafisa was the youngest participant in Miss Indian pageant in 1997. She hanged herself in her flat in Mumbia in 2004. This is what I’d like to share with you guys:
“She was to marry businessman Gautam Khanduja in a few weeks' time. According to her parents, Joseph took the step because her marriage was called off. This was due to Joseph having discovered that Khanduja was still married, although having told her he had been divorced for two years. When confronted, Khanduja refused to answer questions about his marital life or produce divorce papers that he had previously claimed he had filed. Instead, press reports at the time mention that he then threatened her with blackmail, probably after she threatened to confront his wife.
Joseph's parents filed a police report accusing her fiancé of abetting her death, claiming that Khanduja had been desperate to get out of the wedding for some time, and sought his custodial interrogation. In November 2005, the trial against Khanduja was stayed by the Bombay High Court until January 2006. The Supreme Court ordered that the case be put on a fast-track court, but as of March 2006, the case was yet to come up for hearing.
Khanduja claimed that there was no evidence to prove that breaking off the engagement had led to Joseph's suicide. He pointed out that Joseph's earlier engagements to Sameer Malhotra and Sameer Soni had also ended.
One year after Joseph's death, her friend and co-star in the television serial C.A.T.S, actress and model Kuljeet Randhawa also committed suicide while in her late 20s.”
Well something really terrible happens, when one thinks of taking his/her life. Hanging yourself seems like such a torture, but one who has been through a lot would do that. Taking pills when you can’t sleep at all & somehow you take so many that you end up dying sounds sad but it happens. In fact, Marilyn Monroe also comes in my mind. This lady’s death has always been shrouded in a mystery & how she was being used by big shots.
Such young & talented people put an end to their lives…This is bad news for all of us. We have been around & even ordinary people go on committing suicide…something is wrong somewhere. People don’t mind playing the role of bitches & assholes, & hurting others with their words & deeds as much as they can, but we never see anyone rescuing life. Life which is always taken for granted. Life which is too cheap for everyone.
You know if we could save one life, that would be more than enough. That would be 100 % success. Sometimes I do get carried away. However, I’m never sorry for that.
