Yes caroline will have been a fixture in some homes over the years but the thing is, they still dont know her, regardless of how often she was on thier tv that's a persona, not the real person, the only people that truly knew her where her friends and family, its gross for people that never knew her to act like they did not to mention disrespectful to her family and friends, who are the people that are really hurting here

I would have quoted your post if I was referring to it.

It's an attitude I've seen all over Social Media, people hoping they can farm likes and shares by diminishing one tragedy in favour of another. Hell, I've ever seen a trend that I'm reluctant to bash but it's still gross of people who have suffered suicides in their families or friend circles to use them to make a post go viral by begging for shares. It's just.... Ugh.

The point is that people would still be more aware of Caroline because of her work. People will empathise with the firefighter but there will always be more grief for a celebrity because people will believe they know them to an extent through their work. It's just how it is.
