The actor (27) is dead
The death is confirmed by his daughter Claudia Cowan (60), who is a reporter for Fox News. She tells the TV channel that she was present when her mother passed away on Sunday.
– My wonderful mother died peacefully at 05.28 this evening. (…) The fact that she chose to leave us at Easter makes sense in a way, since it was one of her favorite holidays. Now, of course, Easter will have a deeper meaning for me and my family, she said on Sunday.
