Alicia Witt, known for her roles on “Dune” and “The Walking Dead,” is grieving the mysterious sudden death of her mother and father.

Diane Witt, 75, and Robert Witt, 87 were found deceased by a relative at their home in Worcester, Massachusetts, on Monday.

The discovery came after Witt, who hadn't heard from her parents in severals days, asked a cousin to do a wellness check.

“Sadly, the outcome was unimaginable,” Witt, 46, told Worcester's Telegram & Gazette in a statement. “I ask for some privacy at this time to grieve and to wrap my head around this turn of events, and this surreal loss.”

Kathleen Daly-Shea, director of media relations for the Worcester Police Department, told TODAY Parents that “there were no signs of foul play” and that the case remains under investigation.

Worcester Fire Deputy Chief Adam Roche told the Telegram & Gazette that there were were no signs of carbon monoxide at the residence.

Diane Witt, a former reading specialist, made the Guinness World Records in the 1980s for her hair, which measured more than 10 feet. Robert Witt was a retired science teacher.

Witt paid tribute to her father on Instagram earlier this year. In the picture, they are both seen smiling in New England Patriots gear.

It sounds like carbon monoxide poisoning. Can’t blame that on the vax.

That’s what I thought. You can tell when an actor is faking it on a keyboard.

I guess Alicia must have said “no” to the Deep State / global elite axis somewhere along the way. Arkancide?

The article said there was no evidence of carbon monoxide. Very strange.

very memorable role in Mr. Holland’s Opus, too

Yep. She was extremely talented and I always thought she'd be a bigger star than she became.

Or, maybe YOU could check with SeeBS and “news” peeps like Brian Williams. They also subscribe to Faucism, and might know.

🙄

Might be time for you to practice what you used to preach....about more thread kumbaya, furry.

Monoxide poisoning? no CO detector?

““were no signs of foul play.”

According to Worcester’s Telegram & Gazette, there were reports that the couple had been experiencing furnace issues and were using a space heater. “

I preach people not making it personal. You know, FReepers on both sides hoping that others get sick, or FReepers making personal comments about the family members of a FReeper who they do not agree with.

Sorry that triggered you.
