Popular actress Suzanne Somers recently passed away on October 15, 2023. Somers' publicist, R. Couri Hay, confirmed the news and shared that the actress passed away after struggling for a long time with breast cancer. Hay claimed that Somers “passed away peacefully at her home,” and was battling the disease for 23 years.
The news of Suzanne Somers' passing came just a few months after her husband revealed that the actress' breast cancer had returned and was becoming aggressive. He also shared that she was around 50 when she was first diagnosed with cancer and had also suffered from hyperplasia in her 30s.
Hyperplasia refers to a medical condition that is characterized by an increase in the production of cells in the body. As per Blue Net Hospitals, the condition can arise due to viral infections:
“Hyperplasia is the increase in the production of cells in a healthy organ or tissue; it can be physiological or pathological. Physiological hyperplasia is harmless; it can occur at a specific point in life, such as in some cases of pregnancy. It can be hormonal or as a result of increased secretion of any hormone.”
Suzanne was extremely popular among her fans, as she was well-liked for her roles in Three’s Company, Match Game, Zuma Beach, and Step By Step. Throughout her career, she has also authored some books, which include her autobiography, diet books, and a few books of poetry.
