French actress, Naida Fares passed away at the age of 57. Here's how the actress passed away after being found unconscious in a swimming pool, days ago. She once called her life a 'ticking bomb'.
French actress, Nadia Fares passed away at the age of 57, and the report was confirmed by her daughters, Cylia and Shana Chasman. Nadia grabbed the attention with her role in Crimson Rivers. Nadia began her career back in 1992 with Les amies de ma femme (My Wife’s Girlfriends). With her passing, the entire film industry has been mourning her death.
Born in 1968, Nadia Fares came to Paris with a dream to pursue her career in the acting world, and she did make it big. Nadia took a break from her career in 2009 and returned with Netflix's drama series Marseille, and she was planning to shoot her first feature film as a screenwriter and director, which was planned for September this year. Her passing sparked a sense of grief around. Here's what caused Nadia's passing at the age of 57!
It was reported in the French outlet, Le Monde, that Nadia Fares was found unresponsive in a swimming pool back on April 11, 2026. Reportedly, she suffered a cardiac arrest and went into a coma, and she later passed away in Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris. An investigation into her death has been going on. However, no wrongdoings could be found at this point. Her cause of death has been said to be a heart attack.
Back in 2007, Nadia spoke about her health issues. She mentioned that she had to undergo brain surgery due to an aneurysm. She also mentioned that in four years, she had to undergo three heart surgeries. She also labelled her health condition a ticking bomb that needed to be treated urgently.
Nadia's daughter, Cylia took to their social media handles and dropped an emotional post to pay tribute to their mother. In the emotional note, Cylia revealed that her mumma told her that she was not afraid of her death, while the former was. She mentioned that it was only a few hours later that her mom was gone. Cylia called her mom a wonderful mother, who fought very hard to give her and her sister a life and a lot of memories.
She called herself a 'mini' version of her mom, and mentioned that she would make her mom proud wherever she is right now. Cylia's note was filled with emotion and heartbreak in every corner, and that is understandable because there is nothing more hurtful for a child to loose his/her mom. An excerpt from her note reads:
"On Saturday we were on the phone and you told me you weren’t afraid of death, and my response was that I was afraid of your death, and the next day the universe decided it was time for you. As much as it pains me it brings me some comfort knowing you weren’t afraid."
To mention, Nadia got married to American producer Steve Chasman in July 2002. The duo welcomed two daughters, Cylia and Shana. She moved to LA and took a step back from the acting world to take care of her family. It was in 2022 that Naida separated from her husband, Steve, and following this, she returned to the acting world, eventually taking up projects.
We wish Nadia Fares's family strength to deal with this tough time!
