Doris Day has died of pneumonia today, 13 May, at the age of 97.
The legendary Hollywood actress was “in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia,” it was confirmed in a statement released by AP.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of one or both of the lung tissues, usually caused by a bacteria infection, according to the NHS website.

The lungs contain breathing tubes filled with tiny air sacs, which in the case of pneumonia inflame and fill with fluid.
What causes pneumonia?
The cause of pneumonia is dependent on what type you have.
Commonly, it occurs due to a pneumococcal infection, caused by a bacteria known as the Streptococcus pneumoniae.
It can also be caused other types of bacteria – including Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus – and, in rarer cases, by viruses (viral pneumonia) or fungi (fungal pneumonia).

Re: doris day dies age 97
Izzix, that was an excellent summation of the life and times of Doris Day in which you neglected to mention her singing career and some of her hits, and you omitted mention of some of her movies. The personal touch/your thoughts, which should accompany your news links, is completely absent. Shame on you.
Ms. Day had a remarkable career and life.

You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore.
