The news outlet goes on to say, “The certificate of death notes that Nash had lived with the disease for “years” and lists acute renal failure as another significant condition that may have contributed to her death.

It also lists Nash’s daughter with Whitaker, True, as the informant of her mother’s death.  The former model was buried in a service in Los Angeles on Dec. 20, as the document reads.”

Forest Whitaker met Keisha Nash in in 90’s on the set of the movie “Blown Away.”  Nash actually played the part of Forest’s character’s love interest and the two stars hit it off. 

They were married in 1998, and Keisha became a full-time daughter and raised their two daughters, True and Sonnet.  (Nash also had a child from a previous relationship.)
