I am very saddened by this. Kalina will be missed, always added a lot to the show. Kalina was 25 years old.

While the cause of death is not known, I personally don't want to speculate, but Kalina was in good health just a few days ago when I saw her last.

My heart goes out to all those who have worked with her.
