NOW SCIENTOLOGY PLANS HER FAREWELL
Family, fans, and friends mourn the loss of Hollywood star Kirstie Alley. The actress died on Monday at the age of 71.
Their children, Lillie, 28, and William True, 30, said their mother "died after a recently discovered cancer." Now it is clear: It was colon cancer!

A spokesman for Alley confirmed this to the US magazine "People" the day after her death. According to her children, the confessed Scientologist was last treated at the "Moffitt Cancer Center" in Tampa, Florida.
Her mother fought "with great strength" against her cancer, which the public knew nothing about, her children wrote on Instagram. Kirstie Alley, who has become increasingly withdrawn, "was surrounded by her immediate family" when she died.
The actress is said to have been cremated on Tuesday, reports the Daily Mail. However, it is still unclear who will receive her ashes and when and where they will be buried.
A memorial service will be held for her at Scientology headquarters in Clearwater, Fla. They want to pay their last respects in the Flag Building, often called the Super Power Building.
The exact date is still unknown. And also not whether her colleague and close friend John Travolta (68), who has been a member of Scientology since 1975, will be there. Alley's relationship is "one of the most extraordinary relationships I've ever had," Travolta said on Instagram. "I love you, Kirstie. I know we will meet again."
- Kirstie Alley and John Travolta made three Look Who's Talking family films together.
Kirstie Alley had been a confessed Scientologist for many years. She asserted that the controversial religious movement saved her from her cocaine addiction, supported the sect, and donated millions.
It is unclear exactly when the US actress found out about her colon cancer. And also how quickly she went to the Cancer Treatment and Research Center in Tampa, Florida, for treatment. Scientology experts and those who have left repeatedly warn that Scientology members would tend to reject classical medicine and speak out openly against any form of western medicine. This also includes cancer therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
If colorectal cancer is detected and treated at an early stage, the chances of recovery are often good. It is not known what stage of cancer Kirstie Alley was in. You couldn't help her anymore.
"We are grateful to the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Moffitt Cancer Center for their care," Kirstie Alley's children said after her death. What remains is the memory of "our mother's joie de vivre and passion for life, her children, grandchildren, and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy in creating."
