Catherine O’Hara’s cause of death was a pulmonary embolism, with cancer as underlying cause, AP reports
Catherine O’Hara died from a pulmonary embolism, with cancer as the underlying cause, according to a Los Angeles County death certificate issued Monday, The Associated Press reported.
The certificate lists the pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the lungs, as the immediate cause of the actor’s Jan. 30 death at age 71. Rectal cancer was the long-term cause.
The oncologist who signed off on the certificate indicated that he had been treating O’Hara since March of last year, and last saw her on Jan. 27. She died at a hospital in Santa Monica, California. She was cremated, according to the document.
The beloved Canadian-born comic actor and “SCTV” alum starred as Macaulay Culkin’s mother in two “Home Alone” movies and won an Emmy as the dramatically oblivious wealthy matriarch Moira Rose in “Schitt’s Creek.”
Her death came as a surprise to most fans, and an initial statement from her representatives said only that she died “following a brief illness.”

Over the course of her five-decade career, O’Hara had roles on numerous television series, including “Six Feet Under,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “The Studio.”
She also appeared in several films, including the HBO production “Temple Grandin,” for which she received an Emmy nomination.
In 2015, O’Hara teamed up with her longtime friend and fellow”SCTV” alum Eugene Levy for the sitcom “Schitt’s Creek.” The two also appeared in seven movies together throughout their careers, including four Christopher Guest mockumentaries.
Her collaborators and costars over the years, including Levy, Culkin, Guest and Pedro Pascal, paid her loving tribute after her death.
“Mama. I thought we had time,” Culkin posted on Instagram, along with side-by-side images of the two of them from “Home Alone” and the two together at Culkin’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. “I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.”
Michael Keaton, who starred alongside O’Hara in “Beetlejuice” and “The Paper,” wrote on Instagram, “She’s been my pretend wife, my pretend nemesis and my real life, true friend. This one hurts. Man am I gonna miss her.”

Seth Rogen, whom O’Hara had worked with recently on the Apple TV series “The Studio,” wrote on Instagram that she was “hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous… she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it.”
“We’re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it,” he added.
Liza Morales, Lamar Odom’s high school sweetheart, finally spoke out about the moment she found out that her ex got married to the reality star Khloé Kardashian.
“It was shocking. I couldn’t escape it,” Morales told PEOPLE.
She opened up just days before Netflix releases Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, a documentary about the basketball star’s life, fame, struggles and relationships.
A big part of the film looks back on his early romance with Morales.
The couple met in high school and Odom proposed to her when they were just 20 and they delayed marriage but went on to have three children together.
But tragedy happened in 2006 when their six-month-old son Jayden died from sudden terrifying syndrome.
The loss, however, left a heavy effect on their relationship and slowly, they went their separate ways.
The fashion designer went on to add that she was blindsided when Odom’s relationship with Khloé Kardashian became public in 2009.
“It was a text message and then a phone call from Lamar, ‘By the way, I’m getting married,’” she recalled.
“Then it was everywhere. It wasn’t just that he got married—it was how it happened. It was rushed, and it hurt.”
Still, Morales shared that she and Odom have reached to a better place now. “It took years. I had to work on myself and heal.”
Actor Lee Sang-bo, known for his roles in Bad Love, Miss Monte Cristo, and Graceful Empire, has died at the age of 44.
OSEN confirmed that Lee’s funeral has been arranged at Room 3 of the Central Funeral Hall in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.
The funeral procession will depart on March 29 at 10:30 a.m., with burial to follow at the Pyeongtaek City Memorial Hall.
Who was Lee Sang-bo?
Born in 1981, the South Korean actor debuted in 2006 with KBS2’s Invisible Man Choi Jang-su and went on to appear in numerous dramas.
His career faced turbulence in 2022 when he was investigated for alleged drug use.
The case was later dismissed after forensic analysis confirmed he had been prescribed medication for depression.
Lee returned to acting with Graceful Empire in 2023, determined to rebuild his reputation.
In addition to acting, Lee recently opened a meat restaurant in Pyeongtaek, where he personally greeted and served customers.
Friends and patrons described him as warm and ‘friendly neighbour’.
Following his death, the restaurant has temporarily closed, with his cousin (co-manager of the restaurant) expressing grief over the loss, “My heart is heavy.”
