The reason behind her demise was declared as a heart attack. Despite appearing strong and healthy in her later years, she had been battling fatigue and health concerns leading up to her passing.
On the evening prior to her departure, feeling unwell after a lengthy journey, she retired to bed early, bidding her maid farewell with the haunting words, “You see, this is how you die.”
The following morning, in her abode at the Hotel Ritz in Paris, where she had dwelled for over three decades, she peacefully departed from this world.
