South Korean actress Choi Jin-sil is dead after hanging herself early Thursday morning according to Perez Hilton.

The actress, who made her debut in 1980 as a pretty young ingenue, had been plagued with depression since her wildly publicized divorce from baseball star Cho Sung-min. She often worried about the upbringing of their two children. Additionally, she couldn’t escape harsh internet rumors regarding her financial situation.

A month ago, Choi was scandalized when actor Ahn Jae-hwan, to whom she had lent money, was found dead in his car of a suicide as well. Though Choi was never charged in the case, rumors flared, exacerbating her depression.

She hanged herself in her bathroom, after returning home drunk, according to reports.

Choi appeared in over two dozen films and leaves behind two children.
