A cause of death has not been announced, though Aycox revealed she was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2021, announcing it on an Instagram post in which she said initially she thought she had COVID-19.
“I became very ill thinking I had Covid in January and February. Well, things came to a head,” she wrote alongside a photo of her at hospital. “I ended up in a hospital, diagnosed with Leukemia.”
She posted regular updates until March this year. Her last post, on March 25, showed her singing Whitesnake’s hit “Here I Go Again” in a hospital bed, posted on March 25. It included the hashtags #alwayskeepfighting and #chemosucks.
Aycox became a regular favorite in the Supernatural universe while playing Meg Masters between 2006 and 2008.
