Certainly possible. I remember reading about a Dartmouth student athlete killing herself back in the mid 90s alledgedly trying to live up to perfection.
LOL! I told my daughter the same thing but it didn’t work, she smokes anyway.

Condolences to the family, fans and friends.
RIP Erica
Erica was 5’6” and looked normally proportioned. The autopsy will tell the cause (e.g., natural, drugs, alcohol) and, hopefully, the manner (e.g., accident, suicide, homicide) of death.
Some parents seem to ignore compulsively perfect behavior from daughters as if it’s simply natural and expected. Perfection is a standard that cannot be met and I’ve seen it coupled with suicidal behavior in someone I know. I’m probably projecting onto this situation because of that.
And being vibrant and attractive is a bad thing?
Or that it detrects from her accomplishments as an athlete?
Sex kitten? No.
Cute, vibrant, interesting? Yes.
Nothing wrong with any of those photos.
I can’t help feel sorry for her family but I’m sorry, I have no respect for people who commit suicide and inflict that sort of pain on their loved ones. Especially someone like this who had everything going for her (if this is true).
I think there were worse things your kids could’ve done than smoke.
FGS, it was a joke
“being vibrant and attractive is a bad thing?”
Certainly not, but that is not what is portrayed in those first 2 pictures. The outfit and the poses are somewhat demeaning, in my opinion. I suppose others see them differently.
Unfortunately, there is one in particular who didn’t think of it or (successfully) attempt it.
Not guilty ...bless her heart...Godspeed dear.
