Actress Tanya Roberts, who starred in the TV sitcom That '70s Show and the 1985 James Bond movie A View to Kill, has died at age 65 from a urinary tract infection (UTI) that spread to other parts of her body.
The sad news came after a bizarre turn of events. TMZ initially reported, via Roberts' publicist Mike Pingel, that the star collapsed at home on Christmas Eve after walking her dogs. She was then taken to the hospital and put on a ventilator, according to the news outlet, but never recovered and died on Sunday (January 3). Roberts' husband of 18 years, Lance O'Brien, told the outlet he was unable to visit her in the hospital because of COVID-19 restrictions, but hospital staff made an exception when they realized the actress probably wouldn't survive. He believed Roberts died during his visit, and relayed the news to Pingel.
But on Tuesday, Pingel confirmed that Roberts actually died on Monday night. In a statement to Metro.co.uk, he said, "With a heavy heart I can confirm the death of Tanya Roberts (age 65) last night on January 4, 2021 around 9:30pm PT at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA."
The rep also confirmed that Roberts' cause of death was "a urinary tract infection which spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and then bloodstream."

Why ask just go do it
Depends on what kind of ‘public land’ it is. Can’t speak for that specific location.
In most national parks, for example, you are allowed to scatter cremains. Normally have to apply for a permit and there’s certain requirements that must be met, but it’s allowed.
I plan on being cremated and have my friends scatter my ashes at Hawaii Volcano National Park, depending on accessibility at the time.
Some cemeteries have "scattering gardens" for ashes...However, a person would actually bury ashes in the garden...Not actually scatter them...

“I think older people might be more susceptible to it because they don’t feel pain as much in their internal organs like younger people do.”
I’m no doctor, but I do know a little about medical conditions (due to dealing with my own). I think generally the older you are the more you become susceptible to any medical problem. This is true for many reasons. One of those reasons is your immune system is not as strong as a younger person. Another is that the older tend to be “couch potatoes” and lack of activity sure does not keep one in tip-top condition and ready to deal with medical issues as easily. The bottom line is that Sepsis can kill you. I know of people who have died from Sepsis who were otherwise healthy. The same is true for Pneumonia. It can easily take you out.
One last thought: If you have pain, go straight to an MD and don’t mess around. Back pain tells you it has already spread to your kidneys. If you have the usual weird urinary symptoms and no pain, it’s PROBABLY OK to treat it yourself, but it may not be.
Usually what happens is the bacteria ascends the ureter (usually gram negative bacteria) and UTI becomes pyelonephritis from which it is a short journey to septic shock. Because they tend to be gram negative bacteria, they tend to be quite severe in terms of onset of shock and difficult to treat.
People spread ashes in Hawaii all the time, whether legal or not. I did it with my father, it is a cultural thing.
Cranberry juice never has done anything to help me — or my mom. She takes the cranberry pills now, and has better success. I take D-Mannose which (knock wood) is doing a good job.

A woman I worked with just lost her mother from sepsis from a UTI
A beauty and a conservative too!
OT...they had a sale of large whole cranberries right after Thanksgiving...$0.50 a bag...bought several and am making a lot of cranberry juice...it requires a lot of sugar...
I don’t think it’s legal but it’s one of those laws that never gets enforced, unless a democrap city council wants money.
It’s terrible. So easily treated — IF it’s diagnosed correctly.
My Grandfather a WW1 vet was cremated by his request and his ashes scattered in the Superstition mountains near Phoenix.
Good luck looking for evidence to prosecute, all of this was back in the early 1960’s
And I was born in Inglewood Ca back when it was fairly normal, now it sorrows me what they have done to the state of my birth
Covid death.
Urosepsis is common. We see it all the time-especially in people with suprapubic catheters and long term indwelling Foley catheters. Numerous times, I have obtained urine specimens from these people and the urine was white and chunky. It was literally, a bladder full of pus. It works its way up into the kidneys and enters the blood stream from there. It’s pretty common actually.
