Suzanne Somers's Death Certificate Reveals Official Cause: Breast Cancer Metastasized to Her Brain

After battling breast cancer for 23 years, Suzanne Somers lost her life to the disease on October 15th, 2023, leaving a void in the hearts of her loved ones and fans worldwide. Somers, renowned for her role in 'Three's Company', was 76 at the time of her death.

The death certificate, obtained by The Blast, clarified the official cause of death as "breast cancer with metastasis to the brain." The certificate also reported that Somers battled hypertension and, one year prior to her passing, developed hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by excess fluid buildup in the brain.

Somers spent her final hours in the company of her immediate family, with her husband Alan Hamel and son Bruce Somers Jr. at her bedside. Hamel reflected on her last moments, stating, "We were in bed together, and her breathing was erratic. There was no response except when I kissed her, she responded. And then around 5 o'clock in the morning, she was gone."

The prior weeks saw Somers seeking specialist treatment in Chicago, where her condition appeared to improve, according to her spouse. Her sudden deterioration led to an emotional dilemma for Hamel, who debated calling emergency services, knowing his wife's aversion to hospitals.

Somers's family commemorated her 77th birthday the day after her demise, sharing a poignant video of them singing in front of a pink heart-shaped cake to honor her spirit and impact.

Suzanne Somers's cancer battles started earlier in her life. Her first diagnosis came in the late 70s when she was diagnosed with severe uterine hyperplasia. In her 30s, she was found to have malignant melanoma, followed by the diagnosis of breast cancer in 2000.
