Diane Keaton’s death certificate sheds new light on the cause of her shocking death.
A death certificate obtained by Page Six lists the “Annie Hall” star’s cause of death as primary bacterial pneumonia with no underlying cause.
The document also states that Keaton was cremated on October 14, three days after her death.
The “Father of the Bride” actress died on October 11 in California. She was 79 years old.
A friend of the late star told People magazine that Keaton’s health deteriorated “very suddenly” and unexpectedly quickly in the months leading up to her death, calling it “heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.”
A source told the outlet that Keaton was surrounded by “only her closest family members who chose to keep things private” during her final months.
“Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was going on,” the insider added.
The Oscar winner has kept her health issues private, looking happy and healthy as she snuggled up with her dog in her last Instagram post shared in April.
Keaton’s family confirmed in a statement that she died of pneumonia.
“The Keaton family is so grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support we have received over the past few days for our beloved Diane.”
Keaton’s relatives added: “She loved animals and was a staunch supporter of the homeless community, so a donation to a local food bank or animal shelter in her memory would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her.”
Several stars mourned Keaton’s death, including ex-Keaton Woody Allen, who said Keaton “would never meet anyone else on earth, or ever again.”
“A few days ago, the world was a world that included Diane Keaton; now it’s a world that doesn’t. And therefore, it’s a much worse world,” the 89-year-old filmmaker wrote.
“And yet her films exist, and her big laugh still echoes in my head.”
Keaton left behind a staggering net worth of $100 million, which includes a mansion in Bel Air, California, and a multi-million dollar estate in Laguna Beach.
Two weeks before Keaton’s death, she delisted her $29 million Los Angeles home, which she had spent eight years renovating.
She leaves behind two children, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25, both of whom she welcomed in her 50s and raised as a single mother.
After Keaton’s death, her son Duke paid tribute to the late actress in her signature “devoted nun” style.
