Juliette Lewis Does Not Think Misty Upham Committed Suicide

Juliette Lewis strongly believes that Misty Upham's death was not a suicide. The "Cape Fear" actress took to social media to mourn for the loss of one of her closest friends and also slammed the reports that her friend killed herself.

The 41-year-old Juliette Lewis, who co-starred with Upham in the drama "August: Osage County" last year, shared a photo of herself with her buddy on Instagram and also praised Upham for her kind heart.

"Misty Upham survived many things that many don't early on in life," she captioned. "She fought for the voiceless freely. She understood suffering and the deepest pain. She had a presence everyone saw and felt. It is this presence that will continue."

Juliette Lewis then continued, "Out of the dark space in which her light got dimmed, I will remember her as tuff. Wise. Funny. Spiritual. And hopeful. This is another great reminder to call and check on someone when you think to. Not when it's too late. RIPMistyUpham."

It was a spokesperson for the Upham family who confirmed to The Hollywood Reported recently that the actress's body was found in Auburn, Washington, over two weeks after she was first reported to be missing.

There is still no confirmation as to how Upham died, although the Auburn Police Department did tell E! News last Thursday, "At this point, we do not have any evidence or information to believe there is foul play."

Charles Upham, Misty's father, had previously said that his beloved daughter had actually suffered from bipolar disorder and was not able to comply with her medications during her disappearance. This led him to believe that his daughter might have been suicidal.

However, Tracy Rector, a long-time friend of Misty Upham, have stated that the Uphams no longer believe that the actress took her own life after finding her body, just like what Juliette Lewis strongly thinks. Rector said, "The family has stated that, after seeing the body, they still do not feel that Misty Upham committed suicide."
