What Did Mira Furlan Die Of? Cause Of Death Revealed

Mira Furlan, best known for her roles in “Babylon 5” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” passed away on January 20, 2021, at the age of 65. Her death was attributed to complications of West Nile fever.

West Nile fever is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. While most people who contract the virus experience mild or no symptoms, some may develop serious complications, including encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). It’s possible that Furlan’s death was a result of these serious complications. Sadly, it serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of West Nile virus, even for those who appear otherwise healthy.

While her death was a loss to the entertainment industry, her legacy lives on through her captivating performances and her enduring contributions to science fiction television.
