In February, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health listed pulmonary embolism as the cause of death, with rectal cancer identified as the underlying condition.\n\nShe was a five-time nominee at the ceremony, first recognised in 2011 for _Temple Grandin_ , followed by four nominations for _Schitt’s Creek_  between 2020 and 2021. She and her _Schitt’s Creek_  castmates won the ensemble prize in 2021.\n\nLast month, O’Hara’s life was honoured at a Catholic Mass held on Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles.\n\nThe post Catherine O’Hara’s posthumous Actor awards win leaves audience in tears appeared first on HUM News.",
