According to info on the net today , she dealt with Bi Polarity for years. She had been diagnosed and planned to attend a clinic in California. At the last minute she chose not to as it might tarnish the " image of light and breezy her products projected........in other words her presents there might harm her business. Her husband and relatives did all they could to get her help.
Short of involuntary commitment.......they were helpless
It was an odd coincidence that she was a Jeopardy answer the night before.
i read that a sister no one spoke with for many years is the one talking about alcoholism and mental Heath treatment, so who knows.
I think no matter what she may have felt regarding her business or her marriage/relationships, hanging oneself is something only someone in need of serious help would do.
