Hope this works. Google brought me dailymail and metro links.
A tragedy, but I hope she found the peace she couldn't find in life.
It doesn't seem like there was any bad blood between them. Seems she was opening for him and she talked about it more in this interview,

I assume it is to help identify who she was. Chappelle did not name the person in his story.
didn't he? i think he called her daphne and there was a photo of her during the end credits.
You dont think he talked with her if its ok to do it?
I can see people blaming dave for it which like always is the easy way instead of looking what factors where in play for her to commit suicide.
Society needs to take a look in the mirror.
R.i.P
Wait, did he? Now I'm second guessing myself. I can't remember.

Quoted for truth.
This story is ripping me apart inside.
Rest in Peace Daphne Dorman.
i assume he had her permission and i don't blame chapelle. i simply responded to someone who said chapelle didn't name her at all during his stand-up, while i am pretty sure he did.
Please edit that shitty title.
She was famous enough to be remembered as her own comedian, there is no need to use Chapelle name to give importance, she already was known.
It's insulting to make the title about somebody else when she is dead.

How it is relevant?
"hey ya all, this person died, you will remember her because whe was mentioned laughing by a more famous person, oh no, let's discuss Chapelle now".
yeah, very relevant. I hope too once I am dead to be remembered as the person mentioned by that guy
That is all that she is, a transgender person mentioned by a comedian once

Friend Daphne literally put it front and centre in her Twitter bio.

She clearly felt it pretty relevant to her.
That reference is what a lot of folks would know her from. It's there for context.
Furthermore then go yell at the New York Daily News, and Pink News, Newsweek...
I saw the suicide post on Facebook, not sure why the op and some news sites are trying to drag Dave into it when Daphne herself was on record as being a ok with him?
My heart breaks for the child who not only lost a parent but now will have to endure people making her moms death some kind of talking point. I hope they are young enough to stay away from online.
What a horrible situation

Bringing up Dave is relevant because for him transgender people are a joke. But what transgender people have to go through in life is absolutely not a laughing matter. What Dave does is mean and it normalizes transphobia. It doesn't matter that Dorman was okay with Dave.

There is much more in the Bio.
And you are just as shitty as those newspapers, using her death for a fucking thread.
Shame on you. I am out
Seems completely unrelated so this is a pretty tacky way to frame an article...
RIP
No idea, I wouldnt know who she is if the OP didn't reference where most of us have heard about her.
It's like getting mad that Carrie Fisher's obituary headline mentioned that she was Princess Leia.
