While it's tempting to speculate about causes in tragic situations like Larissa Borges's passing, it's crucial to wait for official reports and investigations. Jumping to conclusions, especially about drug use, can be misleading and disrespectful. Our thoughts should be with her…

Sad. People losing family members or friends at a rather young age continues each day.
