Film star dies after being found unconscious in swimming pool

 

A heartbreaking tragedy is sending shockwaves through the film world.

French actor Nadia Fares has died at 57 after being found unconscious in a swimming pool at a gym in Paris.

Officials have opened an investigation into her death.

Left a big mark on television

Born in Morocco, Nadia Fares rose to international recognition in 2000 with her breakout performance in The Crimson Rivers, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz.

She went on to build a diverse career, appearing in films like the 2007 action thriller War and the horror feature Storm Warning, bringing intensity and presence to every role she took on.

She also left a mark on television, notably starring opposite Gérard Depardieu in Netflix’s political drama Marseille from 2016 to 2018.


According to Le Monde, Fares had been set to start filming a new action-comedy in September 2026, what would have been her first project as both a director and screenwriter – but that plan will now never come to fruition.

IT was Fares daughters who confirmed her death to French news agency AFP on Friday, April 17.

”It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Nadia Farès this Friday,” daughters Cylia and Shana Chasman said in a written statement to AFP.

”France has lost a great artist, but for us, it is above all a mother we have just lost.”

Fell into a coma

Fares was found unconscious in a swimming pool at a private gym in Paris on Sunday, April 11. She had suffered cardiac arrest and fell into a coma before later passing away on Friday at the city’s Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital.

Authorities have since launched an investigation into her death, though officials told Le Monde that no foul play has been identified so far.

The outlet also noted that in 2007, Farès revealed she had undergone brain surgery after being diagnosed with an aneurysm, which she described at the time as “a ticking time bomb that needed to be treated urgently.” She had also previously shared that she underwent three heart surgeries.


In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Saturday, April 18, Fares’ daughter Cylia opened up about her grief, calling her mother’s passing “a heartbreak I will never get over.”

“It pains me to say goodbye, but mama, I will make you so proud,” she wrote in an emotional tribute. “I am so happy that we got even closer than we were before in your last few months. You understood me better than anyone and I don’t know how I will recover. People always say I’m mini you and that’s the best compliment.”

Reflecting on their bond, she continued: “You were so loved and you were my role model, every achievement I had I was always so excited to tell you first because I knew how proud of me you would be. You were not only an amazing mom but my best friend. …I love you, please watch over me. You have shown me how fast life can change literally overnight. I will take that with me every day and make every day count for you.”

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

  As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...
