Just heard this off DS' Twitter

Twitter and Facebook are alight with rumours that Elisabeth Sladen has passed away.

The Doctor Who star, who is best known as Sarah Jane Smith and also stars in the spin off CBBC show The Sarah Jane Adventures, is said to have passed away earlier today.

The actress was a regular on BBC’s Doctor Who with both Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, and has reprised her role many times. She first joined the sci-fi show in 1973 and stayed on for three and a half seasons, before leaving in 1976.

Sources say the 63 year old star died because of complications arising from a battle with cancer.

This has not yet been confirmed, so more news to follow.

Now official it seems

I really can't believe that. I was thinking 63 is no age to die, but then saw she had cancer, didn't know that.

I really can't believe this. It was a shock to me when I read the thread title.

I used to love her in Sarah Jane Adventures and Doctor Who.
