I'm not a Schitts Creek person at all, but she's an absolute icon of Canadiana. SCTV and Home Alone are what I associate her with most. Jeeze... 71 is just WAY too young unless there's some kinda underlying illness, but she's been really active with The Studio, and it sure didn't seem like she was having any issues. 

It was a "brief illness" - there's a really virulent flu strain going around this year that's been taking down a lot of elderly people I know.  No one has died from it but they've had to be hospitalized.

Catherine O’Hara, Canadian actor and 'Schitt’s Creek' star, dead at 71

This just plain sucks.  She was so amazing.  First Joe Flaherty, now her.  We're down to just Martin Short, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy from SCTV still with us.  Good to see Andrea Martin working with Martin Short in "Only Murders in the Building".  

what about Moranis and Thomas? they're still alive

Ms. O'Hara was a national treasure, full stop.

the remaining three look fit for their ages are still sharp & & can work. We all get old & eventually die. It's the way life is. We have entertainers, singers, rock musicians & actors dying by the score. My only real concern is this...
