“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace,” Sloane added.

Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and shared her health struggles openly. Her dog, Bowie, had an uncanny intuition about her illness, obsessively sniffing her right side where the cancer was later found.

Doherty’s bravery and honesty about her condition inspired many. Her passing is a significant loss, remembered for her iconic roles and her resilience in the face of adversity.
