In recent weeks, there have been a number of deaths among celebrities in France. After Bruno Solomone, Isabelle Mergault, Loana, and more recently Nathalie Baye, Nadia Fares has also passed away. At 57 years old, the actress succumbed to a cardiac arrest on April 17th, as announced by her two daughters, Shana and Cylia, in a statement.
This heartbreaking announcement comes after hopes for a happy ending for the actress, who had been found unconscious at the bottom of a pool in a Paris sports complex a few days earlier. She was rushed to the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital after spending “3-4 minutes underwater,” as revealed by Le Parisien, and placed in an artificial coma due to her serious condition.
Nadia Fares was reportedly “taken off life support” in agreement with the doctors
According to Ici Paris, a painful decision was made by Nadia Fares’ family on April 17th. The magazine reveals that a final scan on the actress confirmed that “brain damage due to lack of oxygen was irreversible.” The media states that “in agreement with the doctors, her family decided to take her off life support.” The star of The Demons of Jesus and The Crimson Rivers passed away with her loved ones, including her two daughters, by her side. This was undoubtedly a very difficult choice for her close family.
When and where will Nadia Fares’ funeral take place?
As revealed by Nadia Fares’ family in Le Figaro, the actress’s funeral will take place this Friday, April 24th at 3:30 pm at the Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre church in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Those attending are invited to bring white flowers. It will be a very emotional day for the actress’s relatives, as well as for those of Nathalie Baye, whose funeral will also be held on the same day but in the morning, starting from 10 am at the Saint-Sulpice church.
