Nadia Fares died at the age of 57. She was found unconscious in a luxury gym swimming pool in Paris on April 11, 2026.
Fares was discovered after swimming laps. Emergency services were called, and she was placed in a medically induced coma.
Sadly, she suffered a cardiac arrest before her passing. Her daughters announced her death on April 17, 2026.
Fares was born in Morocco in 1968. She became well-known for her role in the film Les Rivières pourpres.
In her life, she faced significant health challenges. Fares had undergone brain surgery in 2007 due to an aneurysm and had three heart surgeries within four years prior to her death.
She was set to direct her first feature film later this year. This project was highly anticipated by fans and colleagues alike.
Her daughters, Cylia and Shana Chasman, expressed their grief publicly. “It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Nadia Fares this Friday,” they said.
Cylia shared further heartbreak: “Mama. This is a heartbreak I will never get over.” These sentiments reflect the profound loss felt by her family.
The impact of her death resonates deeply within the artistic community. France has lost a great artist, but for her daughters, it is above all a mother they have lost.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further arrangements or tributes planned for Fares.
