A View to Kill, has died at age 65 from a urinary tract infection (UTI) that spread to other parts of her body.
The sad news came after a bizarre turn of events.
TMZ initially reported, via Roberts publicist Mike Pingel, that the star collapsed at home on Christmas Eve after walking her dogs. She was then taken to the hospital and put on a ventilator, according to the news outlet, but never recovered and died on Sunday (January 3). Roberts husband of 18 years, Lance O Brien, told the outlet he was unable to visit her in the hospital because of COVID-19 restrictions, but hospital staff made an exception when they realized the actress probably wouldn t survive. He believed Roberts died during his visit, and relayed the news to Pingel.
