Jade Goody Dies Of Cancer At Age 27
Jade Goody died in her sleep today following a public battle with cancer, her publicist Max Clifford said.
According to perezhilton.com, the reality TV star died with her mother Jackiey Budden at her side at her home in Upshire, Essex, at 3:14 a.m. on Mother’s Day.
“My beautiful daughter is at peace,” Ms Budden said. “Family and friends would like privacy at last”
Referring to how her public battle with cancer has raised awareness of the disease, Mr Clifford said: “I think she’s going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives”.
“She was a very, very brave girl, and she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life – full on, with a lot of courage.”
He said it was “ironic” that the 27-year-old – who had two young sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four – had died on Mother’s Day.
Mr Clifford said he hoped Goody’s family would now be left in peace to grieve.
