R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor has died aged 79 due to congestive heart failure. Taylor passed away in LA’s Cedars-Sinai Hospital Wednesday morning after being hospitalised six weeks ago. “She was surrounded by her children – Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton,” said Taylor’s publicist in a statement. “Though [Taylor] had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, this was not to be.”

“My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humour, and love,” said her son Michael Wilding. “Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world.”

Taylor was a two time Academy Award winner. She is survived by 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
