CNN ^ | Fri January 25, 2019 | Melissa Gray,

Ali came in seventh on season 15 but won the Fan Favorite title when the season ended early last year. She was known for her "fun personality and excellent cooking" of food from her native Pakistan, Bravo said.

Ali publicly documented her battle with cancer since being diagnosed at the end of 2017 with Ewing's sarcoma, a type of bone and soft tissue cancer, Bravo said. She had chemotherapy and surgery to remove a tumor and surrounding cells in her left shoulder in January 2018.

Doctors declared her cancer-free about a month later, the network said, but last October, Ali revealed in an online essay that her cancer was "back with a vengeance" and she had a year to live.

In her last Instagram post, on January 10, Ali smiled at the camera from a hospital bed.

Step off a cliff and it will kill you quicker than cancer.

Generally true, depending on the height and what's at the bottom.

A few years ago, a contestant from "The Next Food Network Star" was found dead.

Well, parts of her were found. In her wood stove.

I think parts of her significant other/husband were also found in the stove.
