According to US Weekly, the actress suffered from bipolar disorder and the family's first complain after the missing was to the authorities, who didn't respond promptly and the family had to do the search by themselves.
After the August Osage County's actress body was discovered, Meryl Streep shared her feelings on the matter.
"So, so sad to hear this news - all our thoughts are with her family and her beautiful spirit," the Daily Mail noted.
And Juliette Lewis, who also played a role in August Osage County and was a close friend of the actress, has been posting messages on twitter non-stop, sharing her grief and also asking for donations to have a proper memorial.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am diamond glints in the snow," was part of a poem Juliette Lewis wrote for her August Osage County co-star and friend, Misty Upham.
