Tanya Roberts’ cause of death was revealed by her publicity shortly after it was confirmed that she had died after a premature announcement.
The star of A View to a Kill and That 70’s Show died at the age of 65 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
Her representative Mike Pingel tells Metro that the cause of her death “was a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and then bloodstream”.
Pingel said an online memorial for Roberts will be announced soon. Instead of flowers, her family requested that donations be made in her name to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
Lance O’Brien, Roberts’ long-term partner, gave an explanation on Tuesday, January 5, of how early her death was announced.
Talk to Page six, O’Brien explained that the miscommunication took place after he ‘chatted’ by telephone with Roberts’ representative about an ‘end of life’ with her in the hospital.
“He says, ‘What happened? “And I say, ‘I just said goodbye to Tanya, and I saw her beautiful eyes one last time.’ And after that I just bubble, “O’Brien said.
O’Brien insisted he did not want to blame her public in any way, in any form or form, and said he really believes Roberts is dead.
By that point, doctors had taken her off livelihood and informed him that there was ‘no chance’ she would achieve it.
