“I had no idea that she had any correlation with this Charlie Sheen thing and as much as I’m really sad that it happened and this was unfortunate circumstances, I don’t feel like everything happens for a reason, but sometimes you can’t help but think that. This goes to show people how much this has affected people. This poor woman has been completely victimized and ostracized to the point where she felt she had no way out other than to end her life," Oberlin continued.
