South African actor and model Charlbi Dean died in August of bacterial sepsis, the New York City medical examiner confirmed to The Times Wednesday.
The actor, known for Cannes Film Festival winner “Triangle of Sadness,” died Aug. 29 at a hospital in New York. She was 32.
The medical examiner said the infection followed exposure to the bacteria Capnocytophaga and was exacerbated by “asplenia,” or absence of a spleen. The actor had the organ removed “due to remote blunt force trauma of torso,” a medical examiner spokesperson added.
