Who was Samantha Bestwick? ?

Question

I know she died but who was she that made her so famous?

Answer 1

I googled her name, and it appears she was a 15-year old girl who died in a tragic accident on Nov 17 2007.

She was crossing a double railroad track on a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, and was hit by a southbound train after a northbound train had passed.  She died immediately at the scene from multiple injuries.

It appears she wasn't famous or well-known at the time of the accident, but the tragedy has created a lot of noise about her and it seems a lot of other teens mourn her death and continue to remember her.
