Erin Moran 'likely died' of complications of stage 4 cancer, autopsy reveals | Fox NewsAn autopsy has revealed that Erin Moran “likely succumbed to complications of stage 4 cancer.”
“A joint investigation into Mrs. Moran’s death was conducted by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department and the Harrison County Coroner’s Office. A subsequent autopsy revealed that Mrs. Moran likely succumbed to complications of stage 4 cancer,” Sheriff Rod Seelye said in a statement sent to Fox News.
Toxicology results are pending but no illegal narcotics were discovered at Moran’s Indiana residence, the statement revealed.
Moran, 56, was found dead Saturday by emergency responders after a dispatcher for the Harrison County sheriff's department received a 911 call.
The final days of Moran’s life were plagued with instability as the star shuffled around various locations in Harrison County while her fellow former child actors tried in vain to get her the help she needed.
That's sad, but begs the questions: Did she receive the treatment she needed? Was she even diagnosed? Did she have health insurance? If not, why not?
Erin Moran’s bereaved husband has spoken out publicly for the first time since the actress’s death on Saturday afternoon to pay tribute to his wife and reveal that she died peacefully, by his side, in her sleep. She was holding his hand when she passed.
In a moving and fulsome statement, Steve Fleischmann who met Erin on April 22, 1992 and married the following year, told of how his wife was diagnosed with throat cancer around their anniversary last year.

She was having treatment for throat cancer, so I was contacting her husband and her and she seemed to be fighting it, really doing well. I was just shocked when I got the call she had passed.
‘I had no idea it was so bad. She kept very quiet. We all kept quiet too out of respect for Erin. She couldn’t speak, but her texts were very [positive].’
Her husband released a detailed description of the events. Looks like she passed from aggressive throat cancer.

RIP. Seems like despite having rough times, she remained a positive person and was fighting the cancer.
And Opie had the original Beatle haircut, circa 1962 (Google the images), before any of us fellow Americans even knew what that meant. And we all shine on ....As I recall, Opie Taylor did pretty well for himself.
