Did Debbie Reynolds die of a broken heart, one day after losing daughter Carrie Fisher? It’s possible

Can you really die of a broken heart?

Late Wednesday, the stunning word came that vivacious entertainer Debbie Reynolds had passed away at 84 — one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher, 60, another cherished actress and author, died.

Reynolds’ son, Todd Fisher, said the stress of his sister’s death was insurmountable. It “was too much” for Reynolds, Fisher said. “She said, ‘I want to be with Carrie.’ And then she was gone,” he said.

“She’s now with Carrie and we’re all heartbroken.“

Reynolds was at Fisher’s home in Beverly Hills planning the funeral for her daughter, who died Tuesday after a heart attack on a plane last week, when she may have suffered a stroke, according to TMZ.
