The acclaimed Belgian actress was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a type of cancer affecting the adrenal gland, in October 2023.
In April 2024, she informed her fans of her remission and expressed her desire to return to acting. She shared on social media, “I was nearly forgetting as I left the hospital today after a 13-day stay… It has been a challenging fight.” Unfortunately, the cancer reemerged at the end of 2024.
In an interview with the French television program TF1 in December 2024, she disclosed that her health had worsened. “I am aware that I will not live as long as I had anticipated,” she stated.
Emilie Dequenne passed away on March 16 at a hospital located on the outskirts of Paris, France, at the age of 43.
