    You are so right Jan. This is such a sad and tragic story. There are not many details available yet (and most of the reports are in Spanish).

    No matter how successful or lovely someone is, this article serves as a reminder that no one knows how the person feels inside. I wonder if the separation was particularly hard on her?
