If you're going to kill yourself, especially in a way that leaves a mess, don't arrange it so your daughter has to be the one to find your body. That's just mean. And why wait until the guests you've invited to your house are arriving downstairs? She was battling mental illness, but not fighting it very hard, apparently.

Women are said to rarely use any means that will disfigure them.
That said, I am sick of Ashley and this story. Ever the drama queen - Ashley was the most obnoxious race car driver’s wife ever until he dumped her.
They are reveling in their mother’s “mental illness” (depression) while disregarding her own statements about suffering from hepatitis C for some years and deeming that the cause of her depression.
Let her RIP.

Highly unusual for a female to use a gun. They usually don't want to make a mess or disfigure themselves.
I think the daughters are notorious den Ftards who are anti gun. She probably died of an overdose and the spawn want to make it an anti 2nd amendment rights issue. Mom was another martyr for why you should own guns!
Abortions don't kill people, guns do!
Why Ftards should be stripped of their citizenship and deported.

The husband asks for privacy while the leftist daughter feels the need to trumpet every detail.

Your mother is battling depression, Hepatitis C, and mental illness and you had a gun in the home that was not under lock and key? Seriously??

And?
Gloria Bunker-Stivic:
Daddy, did you know that sixty percent of the people murdered in this country in the last ten years were killed by guns?
Archie Bunker:
Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?

With her money she easily could have purchased and popped enough narcotics to gently put herself to sleep permanently. I guess it was her ongoing supposed mental illness that drove her to shoot herself and make a mess for her daughter to find. With all her financial resources you would think that she could have found effective mental healthcare to at least keep her going.

Here is a woman with the resources to get excellent care for her depression and yet, too many Dems are okay with mentally ill people living on the streets who don't have access to any level of mental health care.

Ashley looks like crap these days.

Perhaps the pressure of appearing at the Music Hall of Fame as a 75 year old woman who was finally showing her age, was too much. Not every beautiful woman can stay frozen in time, like Susan Lucci.

I can't believe the callousness of the posters here. Naomi was a beautiful woman. No one knows the pain she was suffering. Yes, there were doctors and medication that might have helped, but sometimes the pain becomes a little too much for a person to bear. Further, this is not the time and place to be attacking Ashley for her social views.

Naomi and her daughters have spent decades oversharing. It's time the daughters embrace the concept of privacy.
Celebrities love to pat themselves on the back and say that by sharing their struggle with an illnesses (Hep C, depression, addiction, you name it) will help others. No, it doesn't. The only thing "sharing" helps is book sales and ad revenue for TV specials.

I knew of a former local police chief who worked as a firearms trainer for our police department, heard his name many times from others, officers and just shooters. He had lost one leg to diabetes, was going blind and they told him his other leg had to come off. It was more than he could stand. He left a note for his wife,
"I'll be out in the back yard. Don't come out, you don't want to see me this way. Call 911 and have them take care of it"
As #1 says, don't do this to your family, they can't unsee that, and it is just mean. The way I head it, the wife did as he said, and didn't see him dead like that.
Tough things. Hard on the family, even without making a mess for the family to see.

I cannot imagine Naomi blowing her face off the night before her big event.
