Just weeks after Cloris Leachman passed away, her cause of death was revealed.
The 94-year-old actress died of a stroke, her death certificate revealed, according to Entertainment Tonight. COVID-19 was also listed as a major condition that contributed to her death, but was not the underlying cause.
A representative for the medical examiner in San Diego did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The star of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” was cremated on February 7 and her remains are being kept at her daughter Dinah Englund’s home in Encinitas, California.
The beloved Oscar winner died on January 27, her longtime manager Juliet Green confirmed to Page Six at the time.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Cloris Leachman, one of the most intrepid actresses of our time,” Green told Page Six in a statement. ‘There was no one like Cloris. With a single glance she could break your heart or make you laugh, until tears ran down your cheeks. You never knew what Cloris was going to say or do, and that unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic. “
Green added that she “loved her children and grandchildren deeply” and was “a lifelong vegetarian” and “passionate animal rights advocate.”
Leachman died at her home with Englund by her side.
