What was Debbie Reynolds cause of death?

American actress, singer, and businesswoman Debbie Reynolds’ cause of death was attributed to an intracerebral haemorrhage. On December 28, 2016, she tragically passed away at the age of 84, just one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, also a renowned actress, had passed away.

The precise circumstances leading to Debbie Reynolds’ intracerebral haemorrhage and subsequent passing were not disclosed in great detail. However, it is known that she experienced a medical emergency at her son Todd Fisher’s home in Beverly Hills. She was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she ultimately succumbed to the effects of the haemorrhage.

Her son Todd Fisher later stated that Debbie Reynolds was deeply affected by her daughter’s death and that her grief was partly to blame for her stroke, noting that his mother had stated, “I want to be with Carrie” shortly before she died.

Debbie Reynolds was cremated, while her daughter was entombed. During a larger joint memorial service held on March 25, 2017, a portion of Carrie Fisher’s ashes were laid to rest beside Reynolds’ crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, while the remainder of Fisher’s ashes is held in a giant, novelty Prozac pill.
