Rebecca Balding Cause of Death: 'Charmed' Actress, 73, Suffered THIS Before Passing
Rebecca Balding, a veteran stage and screen actress, died. She was 73.
Balding's husband, actor-director James L. Conway, first confirmed the news to Deadline. He revealed that the actress died on July 18 in Park City, Utah.
The same statement disclosed Rebecca Balding's cause of death, saying that he passed away following a battle with ovarian cancer.
Caroline Williams, Balding's cousin, also confirmed the news on Twitter.
"My cousin, Rebecca Balding, has passed away in Salt Lake City. While we were not close in adulthood, she was a profound influence on my curiosity about show business and acting. #TheBoogens was where she met her delightful husband @jameslconway. Mother, wife, actress. Did it all," she said.
According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer was previously believed to begin only in the ovaries. But recent studies found out that it could also start in the cells at the far end of the fallopian tubes. It can also start in three cells in the ovaries - epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and stromal tumors.
It remains unknown when exactly she was diagnosed with the dreaded illness. Balding's family also has not confirmed details about her funeral.
Following the release of the news, fans remembered the actress's legacy and sent messages of condolences to the bereaved family.
One shared a photo of her alongside the caption, "R.I.P Rebecca Balding. My condolences to her family and friends. Elise will always have a place in our hearts! #Charmed #RebeccaBalding."
