Forest Whitaker’s Ex-Wife Keisha Nash’s Tragic Cause Of Death Revealed

We’re finally learning about what happened to Keisha Nash Whitaker.

Last month, we were shocked to hear the ex-wife of Forest Whitaker died at the age of 51. The former couple’s 25-year-old daughter True revealed the sad news on Instagram — though she did not share details about what led to her death at the time. However, reports came out claiming Keisha passed away after being repeatedly hospitalized for months due to intestinal problems — following a years-long battle with anorexia. Now we’re getting the more details about the tragedy, as her official cause of death is in.

According to a copy of her death certificate obtained by TMZ, Keisha died in Los Angeles on December 6, 2023, due to alcoholic liver disease. Per the death certificate, the former model suffered from the disease for “years.” Oof. And there’s more. Acute renal failure also was listed as another significant condition that potentially contributed to her death. So sad.

Following her death, the document noted that Keisha was buried in a service in Los Angeles on December 20. Our hearts continue to go out to Forest, True, Sonnet, and the rest of their loved ones. This must have been an incredibly hard few weeks for them.
