Charlbi Dean Autopsy: Charlbi Dean Died of a Bacterial Infection and other complications

Charlbi Dean’s cause of death has been revealed after her sudden passing at the age of 32.

In August, the “Triangle of Sadness” star — whose full name is Charlbi Dean Kreik — died in New York City “from an unexpected and sudden illness,” which was not disclosed at the time.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson from the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner told People that the actress died from bacterial sepsis.

The condition “was a complication from asplenia,” the absence of a spleen, due to “remote blunt trauma to her torso,” the spokesperson said. The South African’s passing was determined an accident.

The sepsis was triggered after the model was infected by bacteria known as Capnocytophaga — which is present in the mouths of cats and dogs and can sometimes be found in humans.

While this bacterial infection is rare, people without spleens and with autoimmune issues are more susceptible.

As the medical examiner did not make their full autopsy public, it’s unclear if an animal bite or lick was responsible for the “Black Lightning” actress’ infection.

Shortly after her passing, Dean’s brother Alex Jacobs told Rolling Stone that her death happened after she began experiencing “minor” symptoms. Dean asked her fiancé Luke Volker to take her to the hospital, where she died hours later.

“This happened literally within the span of a day: getting a headache, going to sleep, waking up her boyfriend and saying please take me to the hospital,” Jacobs told Rolling Stone.

In 2009, Dean was involved in a “very, very bad car accident” which caused doctors to remove her spleen. She also suffered broken ribs and a broken back.

“[The spleen is] involved in fighting off infections, and that could have had something to do with what happened,” Jacobs said. “Her spleen not being there just added on to the reason why she perhaps couldn’t fight it off.”
