Actress Sally Kirkland has died at age 84 after entering hospice care following a dementia diagnosis and multiple injuries. Kirkland’s rep Michael Greene told TMZ on Tuesday, November 11, that she died earlier that morning, days after it was reported that she entered hospice. A GoFundMe was previously set up for Kirkland following “two separate life-threatening infections” after she fractured multiple bones earlier this year. “This past year Sally fractured her four bones in her neck, right wrist and her left hip,” the fundraising site noted. “While recovering she developed two separate life-threatening infections. The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover.” The Golden Globe winner’s publicist Dominic Friesen previously released a statement about her declining health. “[She has been] receiving medical care at a private facility where family and friends joined her on Halloween for a birthday celebration,” Friesen told the Daily Mail last month. Story is developing.
