Did She Kill Herself or was it an overdose?


Ive seen this movie many times and I still go back and forth, Do you think she intentionally killed herself or was it an overdose? The fact that she kicked ass at the concert kind of points that she knew it was her last show??

It was not an accident; she intended to kill herself. At the end, Beau is reading a letter she wrote to him before she killed herself and it is clarified in there. I can't remember the exact words because it's been so long since I've seen it but the letter leaves no doubt as to the fact that it was a suicide.

She intentionally killed herself. She knew what she was going to do. She wanted to take back Dallas and do a kick ass show. She was sad in her life, depressed and felt her husband didn't love her anymore. She gave up. After she redeemed herself in Dallas, you can tell as she was walking to her room, that was her intention.

I agree. The Dallas show was her goodbye.

It was definitely intentional. Just for future references, if you know someone with severe depression, or suicidal tendencies and they "suddenly" or "miraculously" become happy or 100% better, that's usually not good news. That usually means they are going to carry through their plans of suicide.

Very true. Their decision to end it brings them great relief.

Just started watching this film and came on the board to have a look and my eyes were drawn to this thread. You really should have a spoiler alert in title for people who haven't seen the movie.

Are you asking this with a straight face...why would you come here before the movie's over? Are you new to IMDb or something?

@Stacy0912 - What the hell are you talking about?? This movie came out in 2010...what do you mean "why would you come here before the movie's over? Are you new to IMDb or something?"
It's your post that makes no sense.
