For months leading up to her death, Dolly Parton had suffered from mysterious health issues. But she did not disclose what they were. Today, her publicist revealed to People what most likely caused her death.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones.
The magazine added that she was admitted into the hospital on Friday with kidney and autoimmune issues.
Now she is healthy and with her husband, Carl.
