No one said that we shouldn't discuss Sridevi's death. Most of us just said let's wait for the autopsy results, then discuss. If the autopsy results really shows that it's drugs etc., it's a learning point for society. What's the point of speculating now? Most of us aren't more informed than the forensic pathologists performing the autopsy on her. Moreover, it's the nature of speculations and subsequent condemnations that is more concerning. Most of it wasn't just mere speculations, it was condemnations: she was on drugs, plastic surgery killed her, her family should have done more, she should have done this, shouldn't have done that.
Moreover, the reason why most of us judge this kind of people as lacking empathy is due to the inappropriateness of these actions and out of empathy for her loved ones. All of the people condemning you aren't her fans, they are normal people too who can empathise with the situation and with her loved ones. When a loved one passes away, no matter what a good or bad person they were, all that the loved ones want to do was to celebrate their lives and move on peacefully. They want to grieve peacefully, that takes time. To that family member, imagine hearing speculations like oh she was on drugs, plastic surgery or her diet killed her or worse, condemnations like her family should have done more etc through social media, news. How would they feel? Instead of being able to celebrate their family member's life, they are surrounded with negativity and judgements. Put yourself in her loved ones' shoes and being harassed the same way just hours/ days after she passed away.
Also, yes Sridevi made a big mistake. She's imperfect like all of us. Instead of condemning her, learn from her mistakes. It's human nature to judge, but at least wait till a few days to judge her and her life. No matter how big a mistake she made, her loved ones do deserve an opportunity to grieve her. When you pass away, do you want people to celebrate your life, or pinpoint every single mistake you made in your life? This kind of punishment is more painful for her loved ones than her. Give respect to her loved ones, if not to her.
