Fockers Sister Dies

From IMDB:

The actress who was famously smashed in the face by a volleyball in the Meet The Parents comedy died last month after two medics misdiagnosed her pneumonia. Nicole DeHuff, who played Teri Polo's sister in the hilarious 2000 movie, checked into three Los Angeles hospitals, but only when her problems became inoperable did doctors realize what was wrong with her. The actress' mother Patsie says, "By the time she reached the third hospital, it was too late. She was unconscious." The grieving mother reveals her daughter was rushed to hospital on February 12 but was sent home by medics and told to take painkiller Tylenol. Patsie DeHuff recalls, "The next day my daughter was worse." Again, the actress went to hospital, but this time medics prescribed antibiotics for bronchitis. Two days later, paramedics rushed to her home after she collapsed, gasping for breath. The tragic actress died on February 16.

Very sad. I would have liked to seen Debbie in the unavoidable Meet the Parents 3

 

I would have liked to seen her nude.

 

I heard about this today too. It is very sad

 

Wow, that's crazy...

 

God, some doctors...I hope they sue for malpractice.

Could you possibly say anything more disrespectful?



Very unfortunate. My thoughts to her family.

 

Unfortunately, pneumonia can be very hard to diagnose, and can go very bad to horrible very quickly. I am not defending the doctors, but pneumonia can easily be misdiagnosed as severe flu.

 

How old was she?

 

Only 31.

 

Only 31?! That's even sadder.

 

whoa, i just found out thru this thread. Heartbreaking and horrible. The family should definately pursue the medical people, her death was preventable. Very sad

 

They were not the cause of her death; it's not like they poisoned her..

Still, this is sad.

 

yeah your right. Just very unfortunate

 

this is sad.

 

Too sad.

 

Same age as I am.

I don't remember her from the film Meet the Parents though...

Was she DeNiro's daughter in the film or someone else?

 

That's sad.

 

She was DeNeiro's daughter, the one that got married at the end.

 

I heard about it a few weeks ago, just after seeing Meet the Fockers.
