Actor and singer Shonka Dukureh, who appeared in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” died last month of natural causes, according to Tennessee’s Davidson County Medical Examiner’s office.
Dukureh was found dead at age 44 on July 21 in the bedroom of her Nashville, Tennessee, apartment, which she shared with her two young children, Nashville police announced last month. No foul play was evident.
The official cause of death was “hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease,” a representative for the medical examiner’s office told the L.A. Times on Tuesday.
