Cass Lacelle, who starred in the Freeform reality series “Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise,” has tragically passed away at the age of 34 following her battle with cancer.
This comes less than a year after she was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. She underwent emergency surgery to remove a tumor and completed three rounds of chemotherapy after revealing the news in May 2025. She revealed in a January 4 Instagram post that the cancer returned.
“My cancer is back and this time around is aggressive; it has metastasized to my liver, stomach, abdominal lining, and omentum,” she said.
