    The article doesn’t say the cause of death. 67 is pretty young though.

      A few stars recently have died in their sixties from cancer, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was cancer unfortunately, but I of course have no idea myself.

        I hate when they say cancer. Because cancer is such a broad statement and you can get cancer from many sources.

        Cancer from nicotine. Cancer from being near too much chemical or radioactive sites. Cancer from eating, drinking. Obesity. From the fucking sun. Cancer because your body just generally hates you.

          Nicotine doesn’t cause cancer. Like, not at all.

          If you want to be a pedant, follow through. It’s inhalation of the biproducts of combustion that causes cancer. It’s burning tobacco that causes cancer. It’s tobacco grown with fertilizer that locks in lead isotopes that causes cancer.

      I’ve seen a few sources saying she’s been dealing with lung cancer the last few years and that’s she died of complications from that, but I’ve never heard of any of the sites before, so I won’t vouch for how reliable that info is, but that’s all I can turn up.
