The cause of death was listed as unknown, but I don't think it will come as a surprise once it is released.
Erin was 56 years old. The article mentions that she "had fallen on hard times in recent years. She was reportedly kicked out of her trailer park home in Indiana because of her hard-partying ways."
Her body was found in a mobile home park in New Salisbury, which is only 36 minutes from my front door.

56 years old.
What a damned shame.
According to the msn.com story, here is what some of her famous friends had to say about her:
Henry Winkler (net worth $35 million) tweeted: “OH Erin…now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth. Rest In It serenely now…too soon.”
Ron Howard (net worth $140 million) tweeted, “Such sad sad news. RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens.”
Donny Most (net worth $2 million) said in a statement, “I am so incredibly sad to hear about Erin. She was a wonderful, sweet, caring, talented woman. As I write this I can’t really comprehend this right now. A very painful loss. It gives me some comfort to know that she’s with Tom, Al, Pat and Garry. Rest In Peace, sweet Erin.”
Anson Williams (net worth $1.8 million) said, “Erin was a person who made everyone around her feel better. She truly cared about others first, a true angel. I will miss her so much, but know that she is in God’s hands. RIP sweet angel.”
There will no doubt be more paeans, accolades, and encomiums from other "friends" in the coming days.
I'm guessing that none of those messages will emanate from mobile home parks.
But it's nice to have friends who care about you, isn't it?
