Frankie From Real World San Diego Dies
Frankie Abernathy from MTVs Real World San Diego is reported to have succumbed to her hereditary disease of Cystic Fibrosis, Mucoviscidosis, as she passed away recently at the age of 25 as reported by The Pitch in Kansas City.
The information of her death was provided to The Pitch by people within the firm Barkley where her father worked as an ad executive.
Frankie showed signs of Cystic Fibrosis during the filming of The Real World San Diego which caused her difficulty in breathing and lowered her immune system.
Cystic Fibrosis Research states that 1 in 3,900 American children are born with this disease and that not even half survive to the age of 37.
Frankie Abernathy was born on July 5th, 1981 and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri which is less than 20 miles away from Kansas City.
She was the punk rocker of The Real World San Diego cast and abruptly left the show on Halloween in 2003.
Bunim-Murray Productions and MTV have no comment at this time.

Re: Frankie From Real World San Diego Dies
OMG....that is horrible. This is at least the third Real World/Road Rules person who died. Pedro died...then someone else, a girl, died, too...from Road Rules.

Re: Frankie From Real World San Diego Dies
Oh I remember her! She was very troubled, but I suppose having a life-shortening disease will do that to a person.

sad...but she was also a smoker, not a very good poster child for the disease.

That's so sad. My friend's daughter has CF and I always get so sad when I see the life expectancy of people with CF.

She was. It was a phobia of very large boats.
So sad to hear this.
