00:01 - New details in the death of Suzanne Somers.
00:05 The TV icon died from breast cancer
00:08 a day before her 77th birthday last week.
00:12 We've also learned that by the end,
00:14 Suzanne's cancer had also spread to her brain.
00:18 - Enjoy each day,
00:19 'cause you never know what tomorrow will bring.
00:22 - In a death certificate obtained by The Blast,
00:25 Suzanne's official cause of death
00:27 is listed as breast cancer with metastasis to the brain.
00:31 - I eat right, I exercise, I've done all the right things.
00:35 I've always taken care of myself.
00:37 And I never, ever, ever thought
00:39 that I'd hear those words,
00:41 you have breast cancer applied to me.
00:43 - She fought and fought and fought.
00:45 - The late star's husband, Alan Hamill,
00:47 and her son, Bruce Somers Jr.,
00:50 opening up to ET about Suzanne's bravery
00:53 in the face of her debilitating illness.
00:55 - She had cancer every decade from her 20s.
01:00 - What were her final words?
01:01 - She wasn't talking at the end.
01:05 The last couple of days, she stopped eating,
01:08 she stopped talking, wouldn't take her medicine.
01:10 And we didn't know if she was alive or not,
01:17 and I kept taking her blood pressure,
01:19 but she wouldn't respond.
01:20 And then when I kissed her,
01:23 she responded, kissing me back.
01:26 And it looked like she was gonna make it,
01:29 and then it just overwhelmed her.
01:31 Past 42 years, we have not spent even one hour apart.
01:36 - They were inseparable,
01:39 and I joke that they were functionally codependent
01:43 'cause there's not many people,
01:46 you know, people say,
01:47 "Oh, I could never spend that much time with my mate."
01:50 And they never got tired of each other.
