At least Pope Francis got to tell Vance off before he died. He truly was doing the Lord’s work. ---

Former child actor (_Margot At The Wedding,_ _Noah_), [Sophie Nyweide](https://people.com/former-child-actress-sophie-nyweide-dies-at-24-11719742) has died at 24. No cause of death has been given, but judging by quotes like this from the linked article, it seems like she may have taken her own life: > [@](#): > > - **Her family wrote that the young star’s “own revelations, those closest to her, plus therapists, law enforcement officers and others who tried to help her are heartbroken their efforts couldn’t save her from her fate”** ---

Reading between the lines of other articles I think it’s likely to be an accidental overdose while self-medicating for her issues. ---

You could be right about that. At this point that’s just as likely. Of course, it could also have been a deliberate overdose. ---

It’s kind of creepy that that article only shows photos of her as a kid. ---

From what I read, her most recent credit was from 2015. IMDb lists her in one episode of a show from that year, and no subsequent credits. They may not have anything more recent on hand. ---

Sure. Show a picture of her childhood role for reference. If you don’t have a recent picture of her yet, I’d steer clear of plastering pictures of a little girl all over an article about how she couldn’t overcome her struggles. Then again, I never see a picture of Anissa Jones as a teenager either, so there you go. ---

I’m having a hard time linking to the TMZ article. Basically it says she was found next to a lean to by a river at 4AM and she wasn’t alone. Its looking like an overdose to me. ---
