Sarah Becker, a reality television star who gained national recognition for her appearance on MTV’s “The Real World,” has tragically passed away by suicide. According to TMZ, a family member confirmed the news that she died last week at her home in Illinois at the age of 52.
In recent months, Becker had been struggling with her mental health, exacerbated by her responsibilities of caring for her ailing mother and sister. A skateboarding accident also added to her challenges, further impacting her well-being.
Sarah was known for being a selfless person who always cared for others but did not prioritize her own well-being. During her season on “The Real World,” which took place in Miami in 1996, she was 25 years old from La Jolla, California, working in the comic book industry. She brought a puppy back to the house in the 13th episode of the season, causing conflict within the cast as they struggled to start a business with $50k due to disorganization and conflict.
