It has been a rough few weeks for the Whitaker family, as they are still mourning the sudden loss of the ex-wife of Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker. Nash died unexpectedly in Los Angeles on December 6, 2023. She was 51 years old.
New details into the death of Forest Whitaker's ex-wife, Keisha Nash Whitaker, have come to light.
In her death certificate issued by Los Angeles County and
obtained by TMZ, the former model's cause of death was listed as alcoholic
liver disease. According to the document, Keisha suffered from the disease for
years before her passing on Dec. 6, 2023. She was 51.
The documents also list acute renal failure as a result of
anorexia as a contributing factor to her death.
Following her passing, Forest and Keisha’s daughter, True
Whitaker, confirmed the news via her Instagram Story.
“Goodbye mommy. I love you 4ever and beyond,” she shared
alongside a throwback photo of a young Keisha. “The most beautiful woman in the
world… thank you for teaching me every single thing I know.”
True added in her memorial post, “I’ll see you in my dreams
and I’ll feel you in my heart.”
Keisha's 25-year-old daughter went on to share another photo
showing her mom during her modeling days, and added, "There's no one more
important to me."
Forest and Keisha met on the set of Blown Away in 1993 and
tied the knot in 1996. The pair shared two children together, True and
27-year-old daughter, Sonnet Whitaker, as well as Forest's 33-year-old son,
Ocean and Keisha's 32-year-old daughter, Autumn, from previous relationships.
In 2018, Forest filed for divorce from Keisha after 20 years
of marriage. The 62-year-old has yet to publicly comment on Keisha's death.
