Samantha Weinstein Cause of Death

Canadian actress, Samantha Weinstein has died of cancer, after almost two years of being diagnosed with the disease. According to the family, she died on May 14, 2023. She was 28 years old.

“After two and a half years of cancer treatment, and a lifetime of jet-setting around the world, voicing a plethora of cartoon animals, making music, and knowing more about life than most people ever will, she is off on her next adventure,” a statement by the family read.

Weinstein once shared his journey and explained that it is very important for someone like her, as a celebrity, to speak on it to create awareness.

“I’m a firm believer that representation in media matters, and cancer treatment is no different. Cancer can affect anyone – I’m living proof of that. I figure that if someone out there with cancer sees me going through it, it may give them a shred of strength too. While there are no guarantees in life, my outcome is very good and I have every shot of living a long, healthy life post-treatment. Chemo will be my toughest journey yet, but it will make me stronger than I’ve ever been,” she shared.

“Getting cancer is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, but in the strangest of ways it has also been the best thing. I’m still living with cancer, and with my parents, since the future is uncertain (on the bright side, we’ve never been closer!). I continue to work in my dream career as a voice actor. I have more love in my life and for myself than I ever could have imagined, and I see every day as a gift,” she added.
