About

Suzanne

Suzanne Wangler, a former Detroit television reporter, couldn’t seem to pull her life together after her divorce a few years ago.

Wangler, who had worked as a reporter on WDIV-TV Local 4, resigned last week from an anchor job at Lansing’s WLAJ-TV (Channel 53), where she went by the name Suzanne Page.


Dr. Patrick Cho of the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy Sunday and ruled the cause of death as hanging. He stopped short of officially declaring it a suicide, however, as Royal Oak police continue to investigate.

Just heard the news

I had met Suzzane right when she moved from Royal Oak to Birmingham. It was during her divorced - - maybe later she moved back to Royal Oak. Anyway, I never went out with her but we hung out a few times. I could see that she had issues - - maybe a little more like all other people but not extreme. Like alot of these posts, people can get involved in things that they don't necessarily know has consequences. I do remember her talking about this financial opportunity. I guess what I am saying is that she was vulnerable. A very beautiful person, sensitive, a little off due to what had been happening in her life. I wish I would have been more insistent that she see someone. I think she wanted to have "the life". But I wanted to tell her this "fabulous life" is all BS. We all can be vulnerable and get into some unwise things. I wish to god I would have assisted. I could have tried to help.

God bless you kids because I know you loved your mom and still do.

This is a very sad ending of life for a very talented and wonderful person. I wish that she could have reached out to someone for help. I do know from experience that usually when it comes to that point it is too late. So sad because there were so many that would have helped her.

I knew her from many years ago when she was a reporter in Lansing. It was so evident that she was going up and that the sky was the limit. The one thing that sticks out in my mind the most was that she was a very kind person. I never saw her snap at anyone or talk badly about them. What a rarity.

God rest her beautiful soul and look over her children that obviously loved her so much.

not everyone knew my mom. but everyone thought they had the right 2 judge my mom. She was a spectacular women. But not everyone saw that, because of all the things people said about her. she means the world 2 me. and i know she is right next 2 me when i go 2 sleep, and when i am @ school. She always would wake up @ 1 am in the morning to sleep w/ me because i had a nightmare, or help me w/ homework. She always was the best party througher, and was nice 2 everyone she met. She always helped out @ my school , and was always a field trip volunteer. I wish she had never got into knowing Les p. But he led her down the wrong path, but no one , not even us could help that. I still have nightmares about my mom. ANd riding my bike by her house, and there are realator people there. It makes me sick to my stomach. but i know she will live forever and ever. And i will soon live w/ her . Even though all the things that peanda, and al those other sites where people make up fake things about my mom. I dont care. If they take their own time to write something nasty, and rude about my mom. It means they are jealous. I love my mom. And she lives forever. and ever in my heart. Mom your the best!!!!!!! My mother was the best, and no one can take that way from me

Hi Sierra, You probably don't know me too much - - I painted your house for your mom when you lived in Royal Oak. It was that really big house. it was right before she sold it and you moved to Birmingham that I had painted it. My daughter is Annabella. Anyway, I really liked your mom and I just want you and the your brother and sister to know that. I never got to know her much but she was a cool lady. We did some things together sometimes. - - take care, Jay Dinneen
