Dana has always been my favourite cast member of Diff'rent Strokes. I really like the way she played Kimberly, and she was a really good actress. She was so beautiful too...

I remember when I first heard she'd died (which was only a few months ago via reading about it on this site) and felt really sad. But is it me, or do the circumstances surrouding her death seem strange and patchy? It seems like there's stuff people aren't telling the public about it, like somethings being covered up. Am I the only one who thinks this?

I agree. I was watching the E! True Hollywood Story a few weeks ago and the facts seem pretty uneven to me too. The whole thing sounded pretty weird to me. It's just my guess, but their was something odd about Dana's death.

I think there definetly was something strange- I don't think her boyfriend actually phoned for help straight away and I remember someone saying he started taking pictures or something.

Unfortunetly, the truth will probably never be known.

Yeah, I remember the whole picture deal and that was a weird explanation. We are talking about a plain camera right? We aren't talking a video cam. I remember the guy saying something like, Dana was breathing funny and I wanted to take pictures of it and show it to her later. It was something like that. However, a video cam would've been able to show and hear her breathing. A plain camera wouldn't be able to pick up sound (unless it was a fancy camera) and unless you took the pictures right after another within a second. You see, something just doesn't fit. Maybe I'm the one that hasn't got the facts straight, maybe it was a video cam. Still, something doesn't fit.

Not only did he take photos with a digital camera, he tried bringing a video camera into the funeral home. You have to question his motives and involvement in her death.

That just sounds too creepy. The circumstances around her death, you would think they would open the case back up. I don't think Dana would've killed herself. Someone had to have been involved in some way or form.
