[ummmm]

I don't believe in karma.

No sad loss though.

[Cloverjo]

No, it's not karma.
Good riddance. What a despicable excuse for a human she was.

I did not see that bednobs thank you

If you believe that negative thoughts and actions come back on you then yes. However, Karma to me would be her living the rest of her life in torture day after day like her poor murdered child.

I agree Retrochic

[Old_Geezer]

That sounds more like vengeance than karma.

Meanwhile I suspect karma is unlikely to be real and even if it were death wouldn't be it. It teaches nothing. It is just life, end of.

[Gromit]

If you mean the cause and effect interpretation of 'Karma', then no it isn't.

She killed her little boy and now she has killed herself. That's just cause and cause.

I didn't follow the case. Was she one of those women, a single mother perhaps, who fell under the influence of a new violent partner?

[ummmm]

Maybe, Sandy, but I believe she had other children and poor little Daniel was singled out.

[Gromit]

Sandy,
Correct plus extra ingredient that she was an immigrant.

/// Correct plus extra ingredient that she was an immigrant. ///

One cannot tar all immigrants with the same brush.

/// She killed her little boy and now she has killed herself. That's just cause and cause. ///

The cause of death has not yet been announced.

[Peter Pedant]

No I think it more likely to be self=poisoning

but even the idea has attracted negative criticism on AB or I suppose ... bad karma

[bazwillrun]

how dare anybody speculate on the cause of death...maggiebee doesnt agree with it...

oh yeah looks like it was suicide !

[chaptazbru2]

She's dead ? GOOD !

[phleb]

Good riddance, hope she has gone straight to hell (?if it exists) well i hope it does exist in this case. Evil woman.

[tamaris]

Where does it say it was suicide ?

No, this is not Karma. Karma is the Buddhist belief that "the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, decides their fate in future existences". So by this definition, this is not Karma.
