Holy sh... No! Tomoko Kawakami was one of my favorite voice actor (especially for her job in AIR), and I'm really sad to learn about her death... especially since she was so young! I was always expecting to see her again in a KEY anime or something.

Actually, I didn't even know she had done some voice acting for the Pokémon series...
