She died of lung cancer. Haven't found any links yet. Heard it on WLSAM Chicago.
You guessed wrong. She was a non-smoker.
TANJ! (/obscure Larry Niven reference)
No, she never smoked and was very health conscience. You could have found that bit of information out from prior reports when she announced she had cancer.
Seems the disease runs in her family, her mother passed away from ovarian cancer a few years back.
So if sha had smoked and died of lung cancer at the young age of 44, that would have been fair?
Prayers for their children.
I imagine the stress of her husband's condition took an enormous toll on her.
Sanctimonious much?
No, she didn't smoke. But if she had, she would not have been a "victim" of the tobacco industry.
Terrible, their poor son, I think he is only 12 or so. Prayers for them all.
Because she had lung cancer and not too many survive that.
You could have read a few of the comments before you posted.
And anyway what's this about blaming the tobacco industry?
Must you drag your Smoke Gnatzi opinion into EVERY conversation? Give it a rest. You've barely been here a week and you're already boring the h#ll out of us. *Rolleyes*
I heard in NY too.
Prayers for her and the family. She and Christopher had children, too, right? How awful for them. God give them strength.
Does it matter?
It's still got to be Second Hand Smoke. Or something.
RIP.
Unbelievable. Prayers for the family.
"2005 - despite having never smoked, she was diagnosed with lung cancer"
CBS News: Reeve's is one of those rare cases of lung cancer in people who've never smoked.
Though she did not smoke, much discussion has centered around her pre-marriage career as a cabaret singer in small, crowded, unventilated rooms full of smokers.
Quick! Somebody smack some stem cells on it!
Go blow smoke somewhere else, newb.
That is such a load of grief for a family to bear. My sympathies to those who remain.
She wasn't a smoker, but please, continue with your rant.
It was reported not long ago that she had lung cancer. She went fast.
