Forest Whitaker’s ex-wife Keisha’s cause of death revealed

The cause of death of Keisha Nash Whitaker, the ex-wife of Forest Whitaker, has been revealed.

The former model died Dec. 7 from alcohol-related liver disease, according to TMZ. She was 51.

Keisha’s death certificate, which was issued by LA County, says that she suffered from the disease for years.

The certificate also states that acute renal failure, a symptom of anorexia, was another significant factor contributing to her death.

Keisha and her Oscar-winning ex-husband raised three daughters together: Autumn, 32, Sonnet, 27, and True, 25. The former couple were married for 22 years.

Their youngest daughter confirmed the news on Instagram at the time, writing a heartfelt tribute: “Goodbye mommy. I love you 4ever and beyond. the most beautiful woman in the world … thank you for teaching me every single thing I know. I’ll see you in my dreams and I’ll feel you in my heart.”

The Post has reached out to Whitaker and Nash Whitaker’s reps for comment.

“Keisha battled anorexia for years,” a source told the Daily Mail. “And in 2014 she entered rehab in Chicago. Forest stayed by her side during those difficult times, but [soon after] he filed for divorce.”

Forest filed for divorce from Keisha in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences in his petition to the court.

The couple met on the set of the 1994 film “Blown Away,” in which Keisha played Forest’s love interest.

He proposed soon after, and the couple married in 1996 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

“He is very honest and sensitive and romantic,” Keisha told People in 1997. “He swept me off my feet — not with material things, more like the way he displayed his emotions.”

Keisha was born in Boston and worked as a model, actress, film producer and entrepreneur.

She was once signed to Elite Model Management and Ford Models, and was Tommy Hilfiger’s first African American model.
