Sarah Becker, a reality TV star who appeared on the fifth season of MTV’s The Real World, has died by suicide, TMZ reported.

A family member of Becker’s confirmed that she died early last week at her Illinois home.

She reportedly moved to the state to take care of her ailing mother and sister but planned to move to California when she could.

Becker was struggling with mental health symptoms in recent months, compounded by the responsibility of caring for her family and a skateboarding accident.

She made a career for herself as a comic book editor, and when she was 25 years old, she got a chance to star in a 22-episode season of The Real World in 1996.
