A Wisconsin morning news anchor and former college basketball player died suddenly Saturday at age 27 in an apparent suicide.

News of WAOW anchor Neena Pacholke’s death left her family and colleagues stunned, and she was remembered for her contagious smile and happy-go-lucky demeanor.

“Neena Pacholke, our beloved morning anchor passed away suddenly Saturday,” 9 WAOW said in a statement. “The entire team here at News 9 are absolutely devastated by the loss as we know so many others are as well.”

Pacholke, who grew up in Tampa and played basketball for the University of South Florida, was engaged to be married at the time of her death, her older sister Kaitlynn Pacholke told Tampa Bay Times.

“She was just like a little ball of sunshine, and her smile was massive,” Kaitlynn Pacholke said Monday morning. “My sister was by far the happiest person I thought I knew.”

One of Pacholke’s last posts on Twitter was a retweet from author Jon Gordon about positivity and believing the best is yet to come.

“We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard,” Gordon wrote in the original tweet. “Give yourself (and others) grace. Speak life and encourage others. Look for the good today. Remember your WHY. Believe the best is yet to come.”

How did she do it? You can't write a suicide article without telling us how the person kicked it.

A friend of mine committed suicide last month. No warning or anything. I'll never understand what could drive someone to take their own life.

Even women like that can have low self esteem views of themselves.
She probably thought she was too fat. Or something else.
Its a terrible tragedy that people can get so depressed.
Social media probably didn't help out here.
Wouldn't be surprised that she read something online from some stranger commenting on a forum about her looking "thick" . And she took it to heart. And the downhill spiral began.

Yeah, our society is sick and depression is rampant. Nobody is immune.
