The mystery of Alexis Arquetteâs sudden death on 9/11 has been revealed. I might have given it away in the headline.Â
Alexis Arquette died from complications related to AIDS, a source close to the family confirms to PEOPLE. Â The transgender actress died Sunday morning surrounded by her family at age 47 and âhad been suffering for a long time. She was sick for years,â the source tells PEOPLE. âAt one point, she wasnât able to leave the house; she was in bad shape.â Â In her final hours, the source says, âThe whole family rallied around her. And in the end they were always there to support her. Everyone knew [her death] was imminent. It was a matter of time.â
I donât know. AIDS? Seems pretty cliche.Â
