Freeman’s official twitter account posted more details about what happened. Freeman was apparently suffering from an extreme case of pneumonia when a blood clot traveled to her heart. Her husband performed CPR at their California home until an ambulance arrived, but Freeman died at the hospital. She had beaten cervical cancer and was also battling lupus.
