PARIS - British actress Lucy Gordon, who appeared in “Spider-Man 3,” was found dead in her Paris apartment after apparently committing suicide, French police said Thursday. She was 28.
An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death, though it appeared to be a suicide, said an official with the Paris police headquarters. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of police agency policy, gave no details.
Gordon, who would have turned 29 on Friday, appeared in a dozen films, including as reporter Jennifer Dugan in “Spider-Man 3.” She portrays British singer and actress Jane Birkin in an upcoming biopic about Serge Gainsbourg.
Gordon’s father said the death was a “complete shock.”
Speaking from the family’s home in Oxford, Richard Gordon told Britain’s Press Association that his daughter was “a natural actress all her life, since she was about 2.”
“She’s always loved being on stage and in front of the camera and she has kept all her naturalness and charm all the way through. She has been the most beautiful daughter. We are obviously devastated.”
He said she loved her latest role, in the Gainsbourg film, and thought the cast was “wonderfully creative and supportive.”
He added that his daughter spent much of her childhood and her summer vacations in France and was bilingual. She recently moved to Paris after living in New York.
How tragic that someone could be in such despair that they could think of, then follow through with such.
The difference between those that follow through and those that do not, is in the mind.
The fine line between when you consider it and when you follow through with it, is so narrow that if you can't convince yourself not to in a split second, that's it.
egads--hanging though!
No...when I decide to check out, it will be in a less painful way.

It's psychological. I'm guessing she was an emotional wreck. She probably had a lot of emotional abuse in her life, to the point she started to get numb to the pain. Hanging yourself, feeling that moment of pain, was probably a relief.
As morbid as this statement sounds...you can tell a lot by how someone commits suicide.

I see my future becoming more and more bleak with aging parents, a job that isn't as promising, and being single. I don't care as much about the single part as I do about the job prospects. Yes, I live in Chicago, but everything here is expensive, so you have less disposable income at the end of the week. I think about opening a health club, day spa, or something that has to do with yoga, since I practice this in my spare time. It has trimmed me considerably and I'm much thinner than ten years ago. I think about Colorado or even Nevada because I would love the sunny skies, fewer rainy days, and just slower pace of life. I don't blame this girl for just snapping and ending it all, especially with what is happening in our world.

I don't blame Lucy Gordon either.

Suicidal thoughts are more common that you think
