In light of the suicide of a reality TV show cast member, The Hollywood Reporter put together a photo gallery of 25 (!) reality TV show personalities that have died of unnatural causes. Damn!
I'm not a watcher of most reality shows, so I wasn't familiar with most of the names. It was shocking, however, to see how many of the 25 who had died by their own hand--11, by my count. I'm not sure what the national suicide rate is, but has to pale in comparison to the rate of suicide by these folks.
So, what's the deal? Is there something about being a part of these shows that drove these people to suicide, or are people with mental issues drawn to being on these shows?
