Her family confirmed the heartbreaking news in an Instagram post, revealing she died on December 25 after suffering a series of cardiac arrests.

The fundraiser managed to raise over $31,000 of its $40,000 goal as fans and fellow cast members rallied to support her recovery costs. Despite the medical intervention and the prayers of thousands, the "authenticity and spirit" her family praised couldn't overcome the physical toll.
