Well, from what i remember from the E! True Hollywood Story, Dana died accidently from a
deadly mix of prescription drugs. She was just getting her life back together, so suicide was doubtful. As far as the videotaping, her boyfriend did the taping. Apparently he thought she was sleeping and wanted to show her the tape of how she looked when she was medicated, but he realized she was dying and called 911. Also, she does have a son. He is around fifteen and she was pregnant with him during Diff'rent Strokes and was fired from the show because it was bad for Kimberly's wholesome image.
