The official cause of Suzanne Somers' death has been revealed. According to her death certificate obtained by The Blast on Thursday, the actress passed away from breast cancer that had spread to her brain. The certificate stated that her immediate cause of death was "breast cancer with metastasis to the brain." A biopsy confirmed this finding, although an autopsy was not conducted. Other contributing factors to her death included hypertension and hydrocephalus.
Somers, best known for her role in "Three's Company," died peacefully at home on October 15 at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
The family posted a sweet video on Suzanne's Instagram, expressing gratitude for the love and support they received. They encouraged fans to share their memories and stories of how Suzanne had impacted their lives on SuzanneSomers.com.
Her son Bruce, in a touching tribute on social media, described his mother as a warrior who protected the voiceless and asked important questions.
Suzanne was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and underwent a lumpectomy and radiation treatment. However, she decided against chemotherapy. By 2007, she announced that she was cancer-free. Unfortunately, she revealed in July that her cancer had returned. Despite the recurrence, Suzanne remained determined to fight and used both alternative and conventional treatments to combat the disease.
