Cause of death revealed for Clint Eastwood's longtime girlfriend Christina Sandera

As a movie lover with a deep appreciation for the behind-the-scenes stories of Hollywood, I am saddened by the news of Christina Sandera‘s untimely death. Her passing at the age of 61, due to cardiac arrhythmia and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.

According to reports from the Monterey County Health Department, Christina Sandera, who had been Clint Eastwood’s long-term partner, passed away due to a heart attack.

An irregular heartbeat due to cardiac arrhythmia, as explained by the Mayo Clinic, was the direct reason for her passing. This condition occurs when the heart’s electrical signals don’t function properly, resulting in an abnormal rhythm. Furthermore, according to a recent article in the New York Post, she also had advanced atherosclerotic coronary artery disease contributing to her demise.

Last Thursday, Eastwood shared the sad news of Sandera’s passing through a statement, without disclosing the reason behind her death at that moment. She was 61 years old when she unfortunately passed away on July 18th.

Sandera held dual roles: She sat on the board of directors for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, and she spearheaded and oversaw the operations of an elite equestrian center located in Carmel Valley.

“The organization expressed admiration for her dedication to protecting both land and marine creatures in an Instagram post, as they held their yearly Sea Stars Gala. Notably absent from the limelight, Sandera chose to stay behind the scenes, despite her association with the renowned Oscar-winning actor Eastwood.”

The foundation’s chapter head described her as someone who didn’t hesitate to get her sleeves rolled up and was highly engaged, hands-on, and passionate about what she did.

For over ten years, Eastwood, aged 94, and Sandera had a secluded romance. They reportedly crossed paths for the first time at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, with Sandera working as a hostess. The actor, who previously served as mayor of this quaint coastal town on Monterey Peninsula, shared his life with Sandera thereafter.

An animal rights advocate went with actor Clint Eastwood on numerous red carpet events, marking their first appearance as a couple at the 2015 Academy Awards. That year, “American Sniper,” directed and co-produced by Eastwood, received six nominations.

I’m deeply saddened to share that Christina was a wonderful and thoughtful person whom I had the privilege of knowing. Her loss will be felt greatly by me and many others.

His youngest daughter, Morgan Eastwood, also posted a tribute.

“She expressed on Instagram that the entire family was deeply saddened, ‘A great loss for all of us.’ Appreciation to Christina for being a loving companion to my father, her presence will be deeply missed.”
