Mexican telenovela star, Edith Gonzalez, has succumbed to Cancer.

The 54-year-old eccentric actress died on Thurday, three years after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Edith had revealed in August 2016 that doctors discovered cancerous tissues in her abdomen.

Her cancer entered remission in 2017 but returned sometime this year.

She is survived by her husband, Lorenzo Lazo, and 14-year-old daughter, Constanza.
