The sad news hit the world of show business. Canadian actress Samantha Weinstein has died at the age of 28. Horror star Carrie has lost her battle with cancer.
Weinstein was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021, when she was just 25 years old. However, on May 14 this year, she lost her battle with the disease. The sad news was confirmed by the family on instagram. “She died in a Toronto hospital surrounded by her loved ones,” relatives said.
Fans may remember the actress from the 2013 horror film Carrie, in which she starred alongside Chloë Grace Moretz. She portrayed the role of Heather. She also performed with the punk rock band Killer Virgins.
In the same year, when the doctors discovered the disease, she had to undergo a difficult operation. She then admitted to her fans that she had been battling a rare form of ovarian cancer for months before. She tried to give strength to other sick people.
“Cancer can affect anyone, I am living proof of that. I believe that if someone who is sick sees me going through it, maybe it will give them a little strength. Although there are no guarantees in life, I have a good outcome and after treatment I have a chance to live a long and a healthy life. Chemo will be my hardest journey yet, but it will make me stronger than I’ve ever been,” she wrote at the time.
Despite her illness, she tried to live a normal life, the portal writes People. She married Michael Knutson in 2022. She subsequently called their wedding day “the best in her life”.
“Getting cancer was the worst thing that ever happened to me, but in the strangest ways it was also the best. I’m still living with cancer and with my parents. Because the future is uncertain. I’m moving on with my career. I have more love in my life than I thought when she could imagine. And I see every day as a gift,” she said in 2022.
