Disco Queen Donna Summer who died yesterday in Naples, Florida suffered from Lung Cancer for many years, and lung cancer was probably the cause of her death. But surprisingly the singer didn’t blame the cancer on her excessive smoking or frequent visits to clubs where people smoked. Sources say that Donna Summer was living at an apartment near the Twin Towers during 9/11.
After the World Trade Center collapsed and a toxic cloud was rising above New York, she was “paranoid” about opening windows. Deney Terrio ( Dance Fever ) says that she would hang silk sheets in her living room to prevent the toxic air of the former Twin Towers from coming in. When she was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in 2011 she blamed her disease on the toxic air from Ground Zero.
Specialists say that 9/11 related tumors are often attributed to asbestos and that asbestos in very unlikely to cause lung cancer, but “mesothelioma” ( cancer of the mesothelium). The mesothelial tissue “provides a lubricated surface that allows the lung and chest to slide against each other during breathing movements.
No matter what the cause of her death was. She was a brilliant artist!
