There is nothing eerier than getting a message posted wishing you “Godspeed” & “RIP”. Is it a sick joke, a death threat, or a psychic preminition? In any case, its deeply unsettling… until I found out why.
Apparently, I had a royal namesake. The 31 year old sister of Princess Leticia of Spain was named Erica Ortiz (or Erika… its spelled both ways in the media). Apparently, she was found dead in her apartment on Wednesday of unconfirmed causes. Speculation flies across Europe about the possibility of foul-play or suicide, which makes one wonder what could be so bad at 31 years old, that you would leave your family and 6 year old daughter behind?
So a case of mistaken identity… I’m here and in good health. I hope however, that my namesake finds peace eternal… and that her family is comforted in this time of sorrow.
