Nash Whitaker, who suffered from anorexia for years, suffered from the disease — which occurs when the liver becomes severely damaged by excessive alcohol intake — for years before her death, her death certificate says. TMZ reveal.

Acute kidney failure – which can be caused by anorexia – was also listed as a significant contributing factor to her death. She died at Northridge Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles County.

The former couple's daughter, True Whitaker, 25, confirmed the tragic news on her Instagram account last month, calling her “the most beautiful woman in the world” in a heartbreaking post, but did not explain the cause of death.

“Kesha has suffered from anorexia for years,” says a source. Forrest remained by her side during those difficult times, but filed for divorce the following year in 2015.

Whitaker and Nash have two daughters, Sunette, 27, and True, 25.

They remained friends and their divorce was amicable, but because Whittaker said his wife was “kind and funny and bright — and also a good mother to their children — there was no need not to remain friendly.”
