After passing away suddenly, in August, at the age of 32, her cause of death has been made known.
Bacterial sepsis is described as a “life-threatening condition that develops when the body responds to an infection that damages its tissues and organs,” according to the National Library of Medicine. The sepsis itself “is caused by conditions that endanger the functional integrity of the host, such as microbial invasion.”
