Fans of an iconic MTV series are currently grieving the loss of one of its stars. Sarah Becker, who was a part of the fifth season of The Real World, tragically passed away by suicide earlier this month at the age of 52, as confirmed by her family to TMZ on June 23rd.
According to a family member, Sarah had been living in Illinois to care for her loved ones when she lost her battle with mental health struggles. Despite her personal challenges, those who knew her best remember her as a bright and positive presence in their lives. Friend Daniel Norton described Sarah as “made of pure sunshine,” noting her energy and warmth that radiated to those around her.
During her time on The Real World in Miami, Sarah was known for her work in comic books, her interest in skateboarding, and for bringing a puppy back to the group’s residence. Her kind and lively spirit left a lasting impact on those who knew her, and she will be dearly missed.
