via animenewsnetwork:

Christopher Ayres posted on his Facebook account today that fellow Funimation voice cast member Cassandra Hodges passed away. Ayres stated a coroner's report has been made but further information regarding the death has yet to be made public. Hodges was only 28 at the time of her death, and she was set to appear at Anime Festival Wichita next week.

Hodges voiced Gotanda and Yuku in Hell Girl and Camembert in Glass Fleet. She also acted in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hetalia - Axis Powers, and Mushishi, among other Funimation titles.

For those curious, Cassandra voiced additional roles in the English Dub of Hetalia including the little girl / Zashiki-Warashi seen in Episode 30.

How awful. I can't think of anything to say, other than that she was a great voice actress, and will be missed.
My decision earlier today not to attend Anime Festival Wichta 7 is freaking me out now.

My god, 28... that's just a year older than me. Far, far too early.

My thoughts are with her family and friends.

It really is sad...28 is just way too young!!

Thanks for letting us know who she played though. Trying to figure out just who she was was driving me nuts- though I guess that makes me a bad person ;___;

May she rest in peace, and condolences to her friends and family...

At least England will see the Zashiki-Warashi for the last time...

May she rest in peace.

'At least England will see the Zashiki-Warashi for the last time..'

That's not funny to joke about. Please don't attempt to be funny when we're talking about someone's death. This is not the Zakishi Warashi who has died, this is a real person, who had a family and loved ones. So please grow up and try to understand that.

Calm down some ok? It's just a comment. Death isn't a rare occurence so don't get all tied up in a knot about it. To be honest I was thinking about "Fight Club" the whole time I was reading your comment >_> Does that make me a bad person?

Everyone deals with things in different ways be it trying to lighten things up a bit or being serious and offended by the former. Both can actually be taken as being rude or inconsiderate.

Cool Beans?

I know, and I'm sorry for getting worked up, but the thing that you have to understand is that there is how YOU meant something, and how OTHERS will interpret it. Other people are not going to understand what you were thinking when you wrote your comment. Whether or not that was how you meant it, it would look to other people like you were trying to make an unfunny joke in light of someones death. Yes, you were just trying to bring light relief, but I didn't know that. To me, it looked like you were joking about a young women's death.

And also, even so, it remains that there are times where it is just unesscessary. And it was mostly the 'at least' part that pissed me off. ''at least' England won't have to see the Zakishi-warashi any more'. Someone's died suddenly, and at a very young age. There's no 'at least' aspect to that, even if you're just saying it lightheartedly.

[animeo.livejournal.com]

Very much understandable. Some people do silly things.

[kecen.livejournal.com]

Oh man, 28 :(
Did she play the little Japan?

Do you suppose there was foul play involved?

[hoshiko-2000.livejournal.com]

It was probably an accident or illness.

[kezwick.livejournal.com]

What horrible, horrible news. As others have said, she was far too young at 28, and she could have had such a bright career ahead of her. My heart's with those who knew and loved her right now. My she rest in peace. )':

[corvyie.livejournal.com]

My condolences to her family and friends, my thoughts are with them.

May she rest in peace.

Rest in peace Cassandra )':

Thank you for all your hard work. The Hetalia comm appreciated it very much I'm sure.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

She passed on at such a young age. This is so sad.

RIP Cassandra. Condolences to her family and friends.

[hoshiko-2000.livejournal.com]

I didn't know who she was (I never watched the English dub), but God, 28, that's really young, how sad :( . RIP.

[voltairemondays.livejournal.com]

My sympathies are with her family.

Rest in peace.

[yunolovemeh.livejournal.com]

Dying so young, how horrible.
May her soul be remembered, and may her family be at ease in the near future.

[disownmereturns.livejournal.com]

Oh my :( Sincerest condolences!

[zacloud.livejournal.com]

So terrible, for a life to be lost so early. The world only got to be blessed with so little of all the talent she had to offer. It truly is a loss for everyone, even those who never knew her... And certainly, to her dear family and friends. I extend my sympathy sincerely.

Only 28.....
She'll be in my thaughts and prayers.
