After suffering from an unexpected illness in August, South African actor and model Charlbi Dean passed away, and the circumstances surrounding his passing have now been made public. On Wednesday, the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner revealed to People that the cause of the 32-year-old man’s death was bacterial sepsis.
According to a spokesman for the office, sepsis “was a complication from asplenia,” which means the patient does not have a spleen. The accident was determined to be the cause of Dean’s passing. After the vehicle accident that left the actor with many fractured ribs and a broken back in 2009, the actor underwent surgery to have her spleen removed.

According to the article that was published in People, Dean had been afflicted with a microbe known as Capnocytophaga before she passed away. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these types of germs are frequently discovered in the mouths of humans, as well as dogs and cats.
On the other hand, they are capable of causing infections in individuals who already have a compromised immune system, such as those who have had their spleens removed. Shortly after Dean’s passing, her brother, Alex Jacobs, revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that the star was in New York with her fiancé when she began feeling “mild” symptoms and went to the emergency hospital as a result. He said that the symptoms were caused by an unknown illness. He reported that she passed away a few hours later.
“This happened literally within the span of a day: getting a headache, going to sleep, waking up her boyfriend, and saying please take me to the hospital,” Jacobs said in August, adding that he was waiting for the results of an autopsy to find out the cause of her illness. Jacobs was awaiting the results of an autopsy to find out the cause of her illness.
Dean had a number of cinematic credits to her name, and she most recently acted in “Triangle of Sadness,” which earlier this year took home the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, which is considered to be the industry’s top accolade.
Her filmography also includes the suspense film “Blood in the Water,” which was released in 2016, the horror movie “Don’t Sleep,” which was released in 2017, and the drama “An Interview With God,” which was released in 2018. At the age of 14, Dean began his career as a model, starring in campaigns for labels such as Guess, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and United Colors of Benetton, in addition to appearing on the cover of Vogue.
