An alum of MTV’s hit reality television show “The Real World” has tragically died by suicide.
She was 52 years old.
Sarah Becker, one of the original stars of the reality television show, passed away earlier this week at her home in Illinois.
TMZ Sports first reported the news:
A family member of Becker confirmed the tragic news to TMZ … telling us she died early last week at her home in Illinois. She’d moved to the area to take care of family last year, but had plans to move back to California.
Unfortunately, we’re told she struggled with mental health in recent months … including taking care of her ailing mother and sister — and, a skateboarding accident compounded her troubles.
Becker joined the cast of “The Real World” during the fifth season in the 1990s. She was 25 at the time and hailed from La Jolla, California.
Our thoughts are with her friends and family during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
