Actress Nicki Aycox from 'Supernatural' dies at the young age of 47
Hollywood is in mourning after the premature death of Nicki Aycox at the age of 47. She was Meg Masters in 'Supernatural', a legendary series on The CW.
The actress was diagnosed with leukemia in early 2021. The illness ultimately cost her her life.
Her sister-in-law, Susan Raab Ceklosky, gave the harsh news to the world with a message on her Facebook account.
"My beautiful, smart, fierce, incredibly talented, and beloved sister-in-law Nicki Aycox Raab passed away yesterday." Her husband, Matt Raab, was by the actress' side.
The post includes several photos of the couple, family members, and the actress in a solo portrait.
"Nicki and Matt had a wonderful life together in California. She was definitely a fighter and everyone who knew her loved her," the statement ends.
The actress, who also participated in 'Jeepers Creepers 2,' did not hide her illness from her followers. She kept them up to date about her fight against leukemia.
Nicki Aycox had been diagnosed in January 2021. She had contracted Covid-19, and the leukemia was discovered during her treatment.
Two months later, she shared the diagnosis on Instagram, where she had more than 5,000 followers.
Since then, the actress updated her status regularly with her followers, showing everything from her day-to-day life to her treatments, including the hair loss from chemotherapy.
What's more, in her Instagram bio, she wrote next to "actress" that she was fighting leukemia.
Of course, not everything was leukemia. The actress also shared her exercise routines, vegan dishes, and moments of leisure.
Yet, her last publication was dated March 2022. Then, the updates stopped. Her followers assumed that it was due to the delicate state of her health.
In a nice but confronting video from the hospital, she said: "STOP! DO NOT attempt to sing 80’s music after taking high doses of chemo will cause memory loss." As she explained, she "literally got not 1 lyric correct."
Many of her followers asked about the stem cell treatment that she was going to receive. She had announced this new phase in the treatment at the beginning of 2022.
It is unknown how this treatment affected the leukemia, but in any case, it was unable to turn around its course indefinitely. In the end, a talented actress died from a destructive illness after a year and a half.
