Jessica Campbell, the American actress passed away on December 29, 2020, in Oregon. She had left acting in 2003 and went on to start a career as a naturopathic physician.
She reportedly had gone to visit her aunt in Portland, where she was found dead in a bathroom. Campbell’s aunt couldn’t revive her niece. Her family has reported that she had complained about congestion issues, just before she collapsed to her death.
