Did Megan really die?


I read on another website (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_is_Megan_Jensen_from_Girlhood_doing_I_ju st_saw_the_film_and_was_really_impressed_with_her_and_her_story._I_wou ld_love_an_update.) that Megan has passed away. Can anyone confirm or deny this info?

Thanks...

Actually she didn't...I read an article (if I find it, I'll post it) recently that confirms that she is fortunately still alive but still has many woes...she's gotten put in jail on prostitution charges in the past... =/

Anymore updates as to what is going on with her? I really liked her in this docu and hope she is OK. I wonder if she is using drugs.

I know this is old thread but this was in Huffington post in summer 2014:
That was 11 years ago. "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" recently followed up with Megan to see what had happened after the show.
Today, the Baltimore native is living in North Carolina and acknowledges that she wasn't in a good place during her "Oprah Show" appearance. "I was really, really, really confused at the time," Megan says.
When she originally returned to Baltimore, Megan's life went downhill.
"I started using cocaine, I was strung out on drugs -- bad. I was just doing anything to kill myself, honestly," she says. "I didn't know how to love anybody or to depend on people because I never had anyone stable enough in my life to actually show me that kind of love and compassion."
Megan had given up, and even ended up back in jail. "I just lost all respect for myself," she says.
Then, everything changed when Megan got pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter and moved to North Carolina in an effort to start anew. "I decided to change some of my ways because I didn't want the system raising my child," she says.
Filled with a new sense of hope and ambition, Megan got her life together, pursuing an education and focusing on her family.
"I am halfway through my Associates in Arts degree. I have three lovely kids," she says. "I'm happy now."

Megan did not die. After watching girlhood I was so drawn in that I spent hours researching both her and shanae. They are both doing really well raising their children. I also found them both on Facebook !
