The causes of Furlan’s death were not made public, but Babylon 5 creator Straczynski hinted that the actress was sick for some time. In the Twitter post with which her death was announced, we read the touching words of Mira Furlan: “I look at the stars. It is a clear night and the Milky Way seems so close. That’s where I’ll go soon. ‘We are all star stuff,’ suddenly I remember Delenn’s line from Joe’s script. Not a bad prospect. I’m not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and feel the beauty around me. And take a breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Exhale. That’s all”.
