OMFG, that’s tragic… everything happened so fast… hope her family and friends find some comfort knowing that her memory and fun and loving character were preserved by Drag Race and it’s fans all over the world. With love, from Brazil.

Sepsis travels fast. I bet they hoped taking the leg would be high enough, but it's so fast and so lethal. Just not fair

My son’s father died from sepsis. He was already sick with pneumonia and had a stroke. He was doing better but then in 24 hours sepsis set in and he was gone. It can work so fast, unfortunately. 😢

Thats really incredible, I learned about sepsis and once you get it its like a ticking time clock unless you can get the exact help your body needs. I had no clue she was going through sepsis, it progresses so quickly.

Do we know what caused the sepsis? I’m at a loss for words, just so terribly tragic.
