According to the Los Angeles Times, Frann died in her sleep of apparent heart failure. She was discovered by her companion, John E. Cookman, Jr. For weeks after her death, tabloids speculated that drug use had somehow been involved, but autopsy results determined that Frann was suffering from an existing but undiagnosed condition called "lipomatosis with fibrosis," which is a scarring of the heart muscle tissue.
