Gracenote 259 Report post Posted March 19, 2014 I LOVE how all the Gothamist posts on her death have featured a line at the bottom with the number for a suicide hotline! If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide: do not leave the person alone; remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt; and call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional. I still hear "if they talk about it they won't do it" which is BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know she was in the gossip columns in the UK and more visible there, I imagine as pretty-ish daughter of famous & rich parents, like Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie?

MissuTam 85 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday in a New York City apartment of an apparent drug overdose ... TMZ has learned authorities found a needle in his arm. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the actor was found Sunday morning inside a Greenwich apartment ... and they're still on scene investigating. Read more: http://www.tmz.com#ixzz2sC9TAR31 Philip Seymour Hoffman leaves $35M fortune to partner instead of kids He left behind three children ages 10 and under — and the entirety of his estimated $35 million fortune to their mother, his longtime partner, Mimi O'Donnell. Why didn't Hoffman bequeath any of his estate directly to his son and two daughters? According to documents filed in Manhattan's Surrogate Court and obtained this week by E! News, Hoffman had told his accountant that he "did not want his children to be considered 'trust fund' kids." http://www.today.com/parents/philip-seymour-hoffman-leaves-35m-partner-instead-kids-1D79959171 Edited July 23, 2014 by MissuTam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hihomumio 168 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 I'm not sure I understand why anyone thinks this is out of the ordinary to make such a big deal of in the media. My husband and I are each other's beneficiary and our children will inherit from the surviving spouse. I mean, why wouldn't you provide for your spouse first? This is pretty typical in a situation where there are no step-parents involved as far as I know. Most of our friends have their wills set up the same way. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is pretty typical in a situation where there are no step-parents involved as far as I know. Most of our friends have their wills set up the same way. I always thought the same thing about the Spelling situation too. I agree. I also don't find anything scandalous about signing pre-nups. (something I didn't understand when I was younger but fortunately came to appreciate before I had to sign one ;-) Family business, family money, taking care of kids from previous marriages, whatever. Plus, you know -their money, their rules. I do know that many wealthy people put money into trusts for kids because it's better for taxes than for spouses? Put the money in a trust for the kids & surviving spouse lives on income from the trust etc. But again - their money, they decide whatever they want to do with it....(my in-laws actually tried to bribe me to have kids so they could use them in their own estate planning...I declined ;-) Edited July 23, 2014 by Hoyaheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Otto Sweet Heart 28 Report post Posted August 11, 2014 ^^^ I don't mean to nitpick, but an attempt would mean that he tried to take himself only to fail at it. If this was a suicude, his mission has been accomplished. (shaking my head) God bless you and his family always!!! Holly P.S. If it wasn't a suicide, may the person responsible be found and busted for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted September 26, 2014 The last of the Mitford sisters, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (Debo) has died at age 94. As usual, LOVE the obits from the UK http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article4217400.ece I have enjoyed reading many of the histories of the sisters over the years, and have read some of their letters to each other, but oddly, none of their famous (or infamous) fiction or non-fiction. Though I'm pretty sure I have a few of the books in my library to-read piles.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
