Now there is finally certainty! The long-time wife of Oscar winner Forest Whitaker (62) died around a month ago in December 2023. After the former couple’s daughter announced the death of her beloved mother on social media, rumors circulated that anorexia was the cause of the actress’ death. Now the actual reason is clear: Keisha died of liver failure!
This emerges from the 51-year-old’s death certificate, as TMZ reports. This is the ex-wife of Forest died as a result of years of alcohol-related liver disease. In addition, acute kidney failure was another crucial factor that led to the model’s death. Last month, Keisha succumbed to her illness at Northridge Hospital.
Her daughter True Whitaker (25) said goodbye to her mother with touching words. “Farewell, mom. I love you forever and beyond,” the young woman shared on social media, adding: “Thank you for teaching me everything I know. I will see you in my dreams and I I will feel you in my heart.”
