Loni Anderson’s cause of death has been revealed nearly three weeks after the “WKRP in Cincinnati” star’s shocking passing earlier this month.
Anderson’s death certificate, obtained by TMZ on Friday, disclosed that the beloved actress passed away from an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer called metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma.
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that “most often starts in the smooth muscle tissue in the uterus, belly, or leg,” per the Mayo Clinic. “It starts as a growth of cells,” and “often grows quickly and can move to other parts of the body.”
Anderson, who was married to Burt Reynolds from 1988 until their divorce was finalized in 1994, passed away on Aug. 3 at the age of 79.
