But she seemed to be recovering from the effects of this fiasco when sometime during the night of June 22, 1969, she stumbled in the bathroom of her London apartment. She was found dead in the morning by Deans. The official coroner's verdict attributed her death to an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. But Ray Bolger, Dorothy's Scarecrow friend in THE WIZARD OF OZ, commented: "She just plain wore out." Thousands of bereaved fans jammed the vicinity of the Manhattan funeral home where her body lay in state.

Just saying: was there ever anyone more talented than this gal? Nope. Not Streisand (who can't act or dance) or anyone else. This little lady could do it all. I think she gave her all to the world and then just dropped dead because of it. Of course she was an addict. But by and large I think she just collapsed under the strain of the mega-talent that she had.

I believe she died of a drug overdose. She was also very depressed and was a drug and alcohol abuser. Very sad, considering what talent and ability she had.
