Laura Branigan – Brain Aneurysm

Laura Branigan was a singer who experienced a breakthrough in her career back in the ’80s. Some of her most popular songs were Gloria, Solitaire, and How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. She also notably portrayed singer Janis Joplin in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis.

Back in August 2004, Branigan took her last breath in her sleep when she was 52 years old. An undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm appeared to be the cause of death. One of her compilation albums, Shine On: The Ultimate Collection, was posthumously released in 2010.
