How did she pass away?
Alley’s manager confirmed on Tuesday that the actress died of colon cancer. The cancer was only recently discovered, according to a statement posted on her twitter by her family.
According to Mayo Clinic, Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine. Colon cancer typically affects older adults, though it can happen at any age.
It usually begins as small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers.

John Travolta is one among the stars to pay homage to Alley calling her a very special person.
