She died in 1979, possibly a suicide, most likely a drug mishap. She'd become so withdrawn that friends didn't know about her passing for years.

All three of them. And it's weird. Indeed, I've never seen them like this. They're normally somewhat sociable, but never nestled together quite like this.
