Cameron’s death was confirmed by her former co-star Joanna Pang Atkins, who confirmed that the actor passed after suffering from complications following a stroke.

Atkins posted on Twitter: “Sad to post that JoAnna Cameron The Mighty Isis has flown to heaven.”

Atkins then added: “She suffered a stroke and passed away from complications this past Friday. We shared the wonderful lasting experience of making The Secrets of Isis.”
