TV kills: young actress hanged herself

Whatever you call it, a price to pay or a child actress curse, it’s extremely sad.

A young Welsh actress, Stephanie Parker, 22, was found hanged in her home town after her long running TV show Belonging was closed.

She joined the BBC TV drama’s cast when she was 15 and has been working on the show ever since. She couldn’t bare the fact that the channel decided to close the series in favor of a new flagship drama, TheDailyMail.co.uk reported.

Ms. Parker was described as an “immensely talented” young actress and her talent “played a major part in making Belonging.”

It’s sad news. Though I’ve never seen this show, I feel so sorry for the girl. My thoughts are with Stephanie’s family and friends.

To all the young actors and actresses out there, losing your job isn’t worth taking your life!
