Van Life Influencer Lee MacMillan Commits Suicide at Age 28 | E! News

Whenever someone dies of suicide it's to be celebrated, as there is one less person suffering now. You might say "What about the people they hace left behind?" and you would perfectly correct in raising that question, obviously their suffering from the loss is not to be underestimated. However, suicide by definition is what happens when someone is suffering too much for staying alive to continue to make sense for them. As such, by definition of suicide, the people that are left behind will either kill themselves as well and thus would not suffer any longer or they would choose to continue to live, which would prove their suffering to be less intense than the deceased person. For this reason suicide is always a net-positive, as the person suffering the most will have to do so no longer and only the people who can take the suffering will stay around.

hmm... i live close to santa barbara, and have seen some of her van life videos in the past, yet never heard about her death till just now.

That is so sad, she was so pretty. RIP

my son also took his life 9-20-20 he was 19 depress i did no know how to get throw to him i didnt understand him. Any ways tell parents sorry for your loss i understand what your feeling.

🙏🙏

RIP LEE.😥

God bless this young lady and keep her in the afterlife. May all people who need help get it.

I miss her.... She was an angel walking among us on earth... 😔💔

A victim of feminism and bad parenting.

Who cares what people say online. That’s no excuse to go kill your self

28 is the perfect age

What we do now is not for Lee it's for the millions of other people who might be towards or thinking of you know what Lee did. I hope you can stop as many as we can.

Her problem was that she needed to stop running around doing all these thrill seeking stunts for social media life. She needed to settle down, get married, and have some kids. Talking about that was her first car she ever owned. Are you kidding the me? At 28? She needed to get a house. FYI Van life does not stop you from buying a house you know. If anything it should help you own one faster! Kids need only to learn for her example, and stop trying to become one of these flaming liberals. Her so called man is also to blame for not marring her when he had the opportunity. Was it worth it. All those things have to do with achieving happiness. You don't take that stuff for granted. When all your ducks are in a row, then you can talk about hormonal imbalances, and treatment. But she was not passed the basics. So sadly to say, what happened to her was likely in the eyes of many to be expected. No joke!

"Reach out" Definitely! I wish someone had checked in on me when I was working through depression. I'm surprised I never took the last step to end it.

thank you for mentioning Jordan her latest bow.... she was his parter when she took her life - the relationship with Max was a year or more over yet all refer to Max ( very sad too ) but she committed suicide not on his watch... how on earth do people like Jordan and the crew helping with the fit out of the new van she was working on with them come to terms with how this happened... so very sad, so very very sad. RIP Lee and peace to Jordan Max Eamon and Bec and her family....

How is she a van life influencer yet left her "home without taking her car, wallet, keys, ID, and phone?" Your van is your house tf lmao that's impossible. Guess she wasn't really about that van life 🥴, Bro BOTH HER EX's said something about her. I'm dead.

Lee was truly lovely, rest in peace angel.

Rest in Peace Lee 🙏❤️

Shouldn't this title be Homeless woman Commits Suicide. Pretending that living in a van is cool is just one way she hid her depression.

Absolutely Heartbreaking. And absolutely preventable.
RIP Lee. 💛💛

Sorry for her her and all who loved her. But how about the engineer driving the Amtrak?

Hey maybe she was killed

you never really know..

Wait the police said she was killed !?!? He said !

So sad. She seemed so happy so that was just a facade. We can never tell what is really going on inside someones mind. I feel uneasy that she is called an influencer though. Influencing who and to do what?

1 Corinthians 10:13
King James Version
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

So sad that this girl had so much and was still so saddened by her life. Mental health and social medial take head to your influence of our youth.

Suicide is no longer a crime. No one "commits" suicide. They take their own life. Until you have lived through depression or thoughts of suicide, it is hard to understand what goes on in their heads. People with mental health issues can be very good actors because they don't want to burden others with their pain and suffering due to the stigma attached to it. That's why it is usually such a shock to most when they hear of their death. Especially people who talked to them shortly before their death. Many people always say they want to help but don't know what is needed. Do research to find what effective coping mechanisms are available that help them to refocus over their depression and anxieties. Sometimes it's just good to sit with them and say nothing but show your support by being there. Everyone with mental health issues is different.

She feels better now.

She saw a blaq person doing better than her and decided to take a easy way out?

Hahahaha

My prayer to her family & freinds

wow that is the definition of the word suspicious. sorry for your loss Eamon & Bec and her people we didn't know

This breaks my heart because I know personally how hard it is to cope with depression. To those out there who share in this battle...please..no matter how down you get, how dark it might seem, or how long the spell has been that you're currently going through..don't ever give up. One day things will change, and all the hope that's kept you going to get you there will pay off. Although you may not feel like it..you're not alone in the darkness. I'm right in here with you..and there are many others here too. There's a purpose why we keep going, and we'll never discover our purpose if we don't dig deep to stay strong. I love ya, your life does means something, and we'll make it through this together.

The demons have seduced these people … I have seen people without hands and legs wanting to live : shame on these people .. if you are suicidal let me know I can drive the demons out if you !

wonder why did she choose this route. she was so young and still have so much more to go on in life. very confused.

You never know what’s behind a smile 🥲

My condolences

You our belovid Angel wish I could have met you you've touched a lot of us God bless lee

I am literally shocked.

Do they really think she killed herself for sure? Idk....

Another plandemic casualty? Her "Welcome to life with Lee" video sure made it seem so.

It's also are they absolutely sure she committed suicide seems strange to choose that way after she had been all over . And again WHY WHY WHY, due to a break up??

Its just soo sad i wish we could have seen where her next adventure would have been soooo much more fun ahead to be had .

SOOOO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?? drugs???? Everyone talks about mental health so much these days . And tooo many are on drugs for this ,it seems to be a popular thing just ask around .kids in schools soo many are taking these drugs for so called depression. Look around the world. Look at people who live n born in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, i can see them being depressed why are so many in usa and canada saying they are depressed. Why from what, too many breaknup a relationship and they think its the end of the world . We all know its not. Now i dont blame teenagers i feel we all went through a stage then we were growing not knowing the road ahead, social awkwardness, learning life . Most will pass that phase in time. But then older people just let themselves spriral downward. What does everyone think is the solution?? Can it really be stopped ? Have you ever talked to therapist they seem to be wacky and strange themselves . Very few have the natural skills/instincts to see what some need .the others are just guessing from textbook materials that simply donot fit everyone. Drugs made in some lap NO, then we have human experiments. Sad to see people think of self hurt WTF and really they hurt everyone left behind a selfish sick act. This is tough and we need better answers remedies.

Bam life “influencer” lol 😆

We need to stop thinking that someone,aperson,is our world,not true,we,you are ur world.
