Mary Frann died in her sleep of apparent heart failure.

I remember being quite shocked to hear about Mary's passing. It was indeed sudden.

From the internet movie database....

"According to the Los Angeles Times, Frann died in her sleep of apparent heart failure. She was discovered by her companion, John E. Cookman, Jr. For weeks after her death, tabloids speculated that drug use had somehow been involved, but autopsy results determined that Frann was suffering from an existing but undiagnosed condition called "lipomatosis with fibrosis," which is a scarring of the heart muscle tissue."

Enjoy and embrace life folks because you just don't know about tomorrow!

Sad

I had read that she died because she was taking Ma Huang ( Ephedra ), which made her heart race. I took it myself, in a musclebuilder's product called Orange --something or other. I only took a small teaspoon instead of the recommended cup dose .

One thing was that the EMT had to doublecheck her ID, because she didn't look her age.

Poor woman.

I'm sure that this has been brought up elsewhere before, but she was about to be married and was using diet pills to lose weight for the wedding. As already pointed out, an autopsy also found she suffered from an undiagnosed scarring of the heart muscle tissue.

I just learned that Bob Newhart not only outlived Mary Frann by 26 years, there was a 39 year age difference between the age she was at when she died, and the age Bob was at when he died earlier today.
