Celebrity TV dentist Dr Uchenna Okoye died from a bleed on the brain, a coroner's report has found.

The 53-year-old, who starred on Channel 4 makeover show 10 Years Younger and was a regular contributor on ITV's This Morning, died on 15 September after falling ill at home.

In a statement based on a coroner's report, and released by Dr Okoye's personal assistant, it said her "sudden death" was caused by a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

According to the NHS, this is an uncommon type of stroke caused by bleeding in the space between the brain and thin tissues that surround the brain.

I knew three women who had hemorrhagic strokes at between the ages of 30 and 55, decades ago.

A tragedy. He’s been walking around with that aneurysm for years before it blew. One can only hope his suffering was brief. RIP Doctor.

I don't think so.
one comes to mind:

Plus there's Jerry Helper on the Dick Van Dyke show, and that dentist on Bob Newhart. Oh, and Jack Nicholson played a sadistic dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors"

We had a friend some years ago who had 1500 cholesterol *with medication*. Poor guy had a stroke while still in his 30s. He knew it was coming, what a hell of a thing to live with. Damocles’ sword.

You are probably right. I haven’t seen it ln 35 years. He must have been the one reading “Pain” magazine.

Hopefully she was easier on the teeth than she was on the eyes. Having said that RIP.
