Suicidal intent can come and go.
So, if there was no suicidal intent at the time of her demise, I guess that's one way to work out that the immediate circumstances of her death were not a "suicide" per se. That is, the suicide had failed, but she did not recover from the attempt.
Still, that's a lot to try to convey in a headline.

i guess that's how they got that headline. i don't watch this show but most of the comments say she seemed like a good person based on the shows and probably had depression.

(16,350 posts)Someone young, beautiful, wealthy, successful, loved--at least that's how she appeared--doesn't want up live anymore. How can that be? You never know what's going on in someone's life, what demons torment them and why. I hope her loved ones find peace and understanding before long. Now comes their torment and, probably, regrets and guilt, and the "if onlys." Oh how awful.
