The cause of death of This Morning star and medical expert Dr Uchenna Okoye, who passed away suddenly at the age of 53, has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

The medical expert, who also starred on 10 Years Younger in 10 Days, died on Friday, 15 September.<\/p>\n

It has now been revealed that Dr Uchenna lost her life due to a 'subarachnoid haemorrhage' brought on by an aneurysm.<\/p>\n

MailOnline reports that Dr Uchenna suffered a sudden ruptured blood vessel, which caused a fatal bleed on the brain. <\/p>\n

A family spokesperson told the publication: "Dr Uchenna's sudden death was due to natural causes. We are devastated, and our hearts are broken that her beautiful, full life has been cut so short.<\/p>\n

"As a family, our priority right now is to take care of her young daughter and continue her legacy and keep her memory alive. A private celebration of her life will be held in the coming weeks."<\/p>\n

Her personal assistant, Mars Webb, also told the Mail how Dr Uchenna had been healthy up until the point of her sudden passing. The TV star, who leaves behind a seven-year-old daughter, had experienced a normal 'busy week' and was 'happy' in the days leading up to her death.<\/p>\n

Dr Uchenna had reportedly even enjoyed a trip to the theatre to see the West End musical Moulin Rouge and a business meeting with clients about Mysmile dental product. Following the news of her passing, her fans and colleagues rushed to pay tribute to the health expert.<\/p>\n
