Treatment for the rare bone cancer seemed to be working, but Chef Fati revealed in a powerful op-ed for Bon Appetit last October her illness had returned. Doctors told her she had less than a year to live.
She went on to appear on Ellen where she discussed her plans for the rest of her life:
That was in November.
Sadly she took a turn for the worse; just two months later she was gone.
Here’s her heartbreaking final Instagram post, written to fans just two weeks ago:
Such a loss to the world.
