This is sad :(
I still remember the episode of her show where she passed out.  That alone was kind of scary

When I was a kid I had orthostatic hypotension. Which means my blood pressure would drop if I stood up quickly.

One Sunday as an altar boy at church, when I rose after kneeling, I hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. :o ;D
