With the greatest respect to Danny Lilithborne, who I don't doubt posted the information in good faith, it's been a few days now and there is no confirmation of Horie's death from any source. Her website isn't carrying the news, and even more tellingly there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the site's forum. My Japanese is appalling, but there was nothing there resembling an announcement of her death as far as I could see. Perhaps a Japanese-speaking Wikipedian could confirm this?
With this in mind, I've removed the news of her death from her page (80.229.139.226 is me - seems I forgot to log in). If it turns out to be true, please revert it, but please, if you do, then at least provide sources. Ideally we should be citing sources for everything anyway... in practice this doesn't really happen, but for something as important as this, a source is definitely required.

This is my fault for believing in someone else. After what happened with Shiho Niiyama, I didn't want another death to go unreported for months and so when a friend of mine claimed that this happened, I believed her. My apologies to Wikipedia and the Sailormoon fans that were affected by the news. Danny Lilithborne20:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Someone has been putting a bunch of weird info out there on places like the imdb.com [1] that she was born in Taiwan, lived in Taiwan, was half-Taiwanese, etc. The born in Taiwan imdb.com entry (with the wrong birthdate as well) part is verifiably false, and I can't find anything to verify the other Taiwan stuff either. Most telling, there is no Chinese-language Wiki-entry for her; you'd think if she was so "huge in Taiwan" there would be. Clarification and sources are requested.
