Her body has been sent to the Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s office for a proper autopsy which will determine an official cause of death.
Mary Mara’s manager Craig Dorfman confirmed her death, “Mary was one of the finest actresses I ever met. I still remember seeing her onstage in 1992 in ‘Mad Forest’ off Broadway. She was electric, funny, and a true individual. Everyone loved her. She will be missed.”

Fans are outraged as some say she should have been more careful
It is very immoral and immature to blame someone for their own demise. Instead of showing support to the family, some people like to stir up drama and share their nonsensical opinions on the internet which makes it hard for the family and real fans to move on.
That’s what you get from this? Battling a current could kill even the most athletic swimmer.

You can drown in your bowl of cereal being a great swimmer has nothing to do with it because drowning can happen because lung are not up to it or there a under toe that drag her out and under or drown behind you blacked out because of water pressure
