People die all the time and people who are 37 sometimes die as well. It's telling that Jezebel runs with the story despite there being no evidence of any improper behavior and without the benefit of autopsy results.

“She apparently had PTSD, wounds consistent with self harm, a past suicide attempt, and self reported being depressed. “

“If she told them she was suicidal (as her booking documentation says)“

“Fucking. Bullshit. Asshole. Troll.”

“Top that with police releasing the fact that marijuana was in her system and I smell all kinds of bullshit. What the fuck does that have to do with her death?”

Maybe eating all of the marijuana on your person to avoid going to jail for that might have exacerbated her mental health condition as well ...

I don’t mind the typos as much as the complete and utter lack of any fact checking on any of these stories at all.

“now explain why you didn’t follow protocol and have her on suicide watch.”

Congratulations, the groundless speculation on that post comes pretty close to the nonsense of internet experts who think that jet planes couldn’t have caused the twin towers to fall down.

Well, the booking documents show that she did attempt suicide just this year. This would have to be within the last 6 months. “Have you ever attempted suicide? If so, when, why, how? In 2015, lost baby, by taking pills.”

The writers at Gawker would have voted to zoom in.

Also, Gawker’s business model consists of summarizing a fair number of articles from the Daily Mail so it’s weird to read this:

Fact checked something that purportedly happened during a drug fueled party in 1976, almost 40 years ago, where the main witness is dead? It doesn’t sound like HP contacted either Jett or Currie. So what exactly did that fact checking consist of? Talking to Jackie? Oh wait, she said that her managers never forced to…

To be fair to Joan, Jackie felt the same way as recently as 2009.

“I’m sort of curious if Jett and Currie are remembering this incorrectly.”

“It’s better to just admit that you acted shitty because you were too young and inexperienced to deal with the seriousness of the situation, than it is to accuse Jackie of lying because it goes against the “tough girl champion of the downtrodden” image you’ve created for yourself.”

“Let me tell you what was going on: A girl was raped in front of a bunch of people.”

Your odds in 2015 of actually figuring out what happened at drug fueled party on New Years almost 40 years ago are pretty remote ...
