Sorry to hear! I literally just found out about it now. A little late, but it's not as if this was made much of in the media! I was aware she was ill, though.

So, just curious, was she part Middle Eastern? Her full name seems Arabic. Also, her birth details on her IMDb page appear to be incorrect.
