– I’m not quite sure
It was said that the Black Lightning star had a headache before he died, and so he went to bed. She allegedly woke her boyfriend and begged him to take her to the hospital.
– We’re still not sure what happened. An autopsy is being done, which we know may take some time. But what we’re told is that she had a viral infection in her lungs, Jacobs tells the magazine, adding that it all happened within a day.
According to Jacobs, the DC star was in a serious car accident in 2009 and broke his back and ribs. It is believed that the injuries she sustained may have contributed to her death.

– They removed her spleen. It helps fight infection and may have something to do with what happened. He adds that the fact that her spleen was not present may have contributed to her failure to fight off the infection.
