Actress Suzanne Somers’ cause of death was revealed following news of her passing on October 15. She was 76.
Somers’ death certificate, obtained by The Blast, states that the ‘Three’s Company” actress died from “breast cancer with metastasis to the brain” as her immediate cause of death with a biopsy confirming the results.
The certificate also reportedly listed hypertension, or high blood pressure, and hydrocephalus as additional underlying contributions in her death.
Earlier this month, Somers’ publicist R. Couri Hay released a statement that the star had “passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years,” People magazine reported.

“Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan [Hamel], her son Bruce, and her immediate family,” the statement added. “Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th. Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly.”
News of her death comes after the TV star shared just a few months earlier that her cancer had returned.
“I have been living with cancer since my 20’s,” Somers said at the time. “And every time that little f***** pops up, I continue to bat it back. I do my best not to let this insidious disease control me.”
“It’s a recurrence of my breast cancer,” she added. “Like any cancer patient, when you get that’s dreaded, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war. This is familiar battleground for me and I’m very tough.”

The day after Somers’ death, her publicist shared with People magazine a love poem Alan Hamel, Somers’ husband of 46 years, gave her the day before she died.
In the heartbreaking letter, Hamel opined about all the ways he’s used the word love in the past and then wrote that there’s “no version of the word” that will ever come close to describing how he felt about his wife.
