Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.
Christopher Hitchens died in his 60s from cancer, but that wasn't recent.
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.
How about cancer from being too pedantic? Jesus.
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.
Don't really need to know tbh
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.
Wikipedia says MS, fyi.
