Some sites including IMDB say that Tara was murdered in 1983, but some say that she was encountered later than that.
Jayne County writing in 1995 said:
However there was in the 2010s another Tara O'Hara resident in Berlin. She lived with Edeltraut P., and they were gay and community activists.
"Ten years later [after 1983] I heard the tragic story of Tara's passing on. Tara was found in the ladies' room in the Berlin Tiergarten area with her head bashed in. They took her to the hospital and she lay there for weeks and weeks in a coma. Finally the doctors decided that enough was enough and pulled the plug on her. I guess they thought that Tara would never recover, but they should have consulted someone. It caused a stink in the Berlin press. She was dying slowly anyway, but leave it to Tara to go out with a bang!" (p155-6)
