The Real World star Sarah Becker has died at the age of 52. The MTV favorite, who appeared on the Miami-based version of the reality series, died by suicide. Her family confirmed the news to TMZ, explaining that she was at her home in Illinois at the time.
She’d moved to the area to care for her mom and sister, but had planned to eventually head to California when she could. According to the outlet, she had struggled with mental health issues in the last few months – while also recovering from a skateboarding accident. She was described by her loved ones as a ‘selfless’ person who took care of everyone.
Becker worked in the comic book industry but switched things up in 1996 when she appeared in season five of the Real World, which was set in Miami. The hugely popular series ran on MTV for 33 seasons, before it ended in 2016, and followed a group of young people living in a house together across several months.
