Overview
- On Oct. 21, Lourd shared an Instagram tribute on what would have been Fisher’s 69th birthday.
- She wrote that she told her young son his grandmother “didn’t take care of her body,” which she framed as telling the truth without the whole truth.
- Lourd said the exchange left her angry that Fisher did not get sober, sad that she could not, and grateful for her mother’s life.
- She said she keeps Fisher’s memory alive for her two children by sharing stories, watching her films, and enjoying her favorite foods, including a Coke with lots of ice.
- Background: Fisher died in 2016 after a medical emergency on a London–Los Angeles flight; the coroner cited sleep apnea with other contributing factors, and toxicology found multiple substances without a definitive link to the cause.
