Catherine O’Hara’s cause of death, private rectal cancer battle revealed

It’s been revealed that Catherine O’Hara, the beloved actress from “Schitt’s Creek” and “Home Alone,” passed away at age 71 after a private struggle with cancer. The news of her death and the illness she battled came to light several weeks after her passing.

According to her death certificate, published by TMZ on Monday, comedian Leslie Jordan died from a blood clot in his lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism. The document also showed he had been battling rectal cancer, which was noted as a contributing factor.

Annie Murphy, the Emmy-winning actress known for her roles in “Best in Show,” “Beetlejuice,” and more recently “The Last of Us” and “The Studio,” passed away on January 30th. Her representatives at CAA confirmed that she died after a short illness, but did not share any further details.
