General Hospital (GH) spoilers indicate that Leslie Charleson’s (Monica Quartermaine) cause of death has been revealed, so here’s what really happened to the beloved GH actress. More information is coming out based on Charleson’s death certificate and other documents related to the case.
TMZ shared info from those documents, which show that Charleson passed away due to “sequelae of blunt head trauma.”
It turns out Charleson suffered a head injury that resulted in some lasting effects – though there’s no confirmation on when the initial injury occurred.
That said, Charleson took some tumbles over the last few years, so it’s possible her head trauma was related to those falls.
In addition to Leslie Charleson’s cause of death, some other notes have been revealed from the Los Angeles County medical examiner.
Charleson struggled with multiple challenging illnesses, including asthma, arthritis and atrial fibrillation.
The 79-year-old GH star also had a condition known as normal pressure hydrocephalus, which happens when cerebrospinal fluid buildup occurs in the skull and presses on the brain.
It’s tough to hear that Charleson was suffering from these medical issues, but at least we have a better sense of what she was dealing with.
