LOS ANGELES — A cardiac arrest last month led to the immediate death of international icon Raquel Welch, who also suffered from Alzheimer's disease for years.
The "One Million Years B.C." and "Fantastic Voyage" actor's cause of death was revealed Tuesday in her Los Angeles County death certificate, obtained and posted online by TMZ.
Welch died in mid-February at 82 after what her team described as "a brief illness." The star had not publicly revealed that she had Alzheimer's, the progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thought processing and behavior. The incurable disease was listed as a condition that also led to her death.
