That's so sad. Please take care of your health people.

Edit- Was it suicide or poor health?

I've never quite understood how to deal with suicidal ideation when you're not in an active "crisis" and every therapist I've ever mentioned it to has made me swear that I will never speak of it again. It's the kind of thing that stays in your head for years and gets larger and larger, especially when everything else continues to fall apart.

RIP and condolences to the family of one of the original KanColle illustrators (the article not mentioned Perth, which she also designed). It really saddens me how her life ended.

It was suicide, but considering her husband stated that there were no notes, no cancellations in schedules, and it all looked like she did everything like always this day - it was a very impulsive decision for sure, which is even more tragic.

This is tragic, and moreso being suicide. My condolences to all her loved ones.
