Pierce Brosnan s daughter Charlotte is believed to have died from ovarian cancer - the same disease which claimed her mother Cassandra 22 years ago. She was 42. James Bond actor Pierce married Cassandra, an Australian actress in 1980 and they became parents to son Sean in 1983. Cassandra was married earlier and had two children from that relationship Charlotte and Christopher, the Mirror reported.
When the children s father Dermot Harris died in 1986, Pierce adopted them and they took his surname. Charlotte is now survived by her long-term partner and her kids, Isabella, 15 and eight-year-old Lucas. Charlotte Brosnan, a mother-of-two, died from the same disease that killed her mother at the same age in 1991.
Her father Pierce Brosnan last night said: On June 28 my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer. She was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella and Lucas and brothers Christopher and Sean.
Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a group of over one hundred diseases characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth. In a healthy body cells grow, die and are replaced in a very controlled way. Damage or change in the genetic material of cells by environmental or internal factors result in cells that don t die and continue to multiply until a massive cancer or a tumour develops. Most cancer related deaths are due to metastasis, malignant cells that penetrate into the circulatory system and establish colonies in other parts of the body. Great advancements have been made but cancer is still leading cause of death for people under 85.
