MANILA, Philippines\u2014Actress Isabel Granada has succumbed to aneurysm. She was 41.<\/p>\n

Her passing was confirmed in a statement released on Sunday morning by her widower, Arnel Cowley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great sadness that my wife Isabel Granada has peacefully passed here in Doha, Qatar,\u201d Cowley announced through the Facebook page of his wife\u2019s cousin, Joseph Rivera. \u201cShe has been a fantastic wife, mother and daughter. She always did her best in everything she did, whether it be in front of a camera or sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to take this time to thank the Filipino community in Doha for giving their full support throughout this difficult time for myself and the family,\u201d he added, expressing how much he loves and misses his wife.<\/p>\n

Jericho Genaskey Aguas, Granada\u2019s ex-husband and father of her son Hubert, also took to social media to pay tribute to his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalaki ang naging parte mo sa aking buhay. Binigyan mo ako ng isang gwapo\u2019t matalinong anak. Makulay ang <\/em>14 years nating pagsasama. Mula sa aking puso\u2019t kaluluwa, maraming, maraming salamat<\/em> [You were a big part of my life. You gave me a handsome and intelligent child. Our 14 years together was colorful. From my heart and soul, many, many thanks],\u201d Aguas wrote.<\/p>\n

Granada and Aguas were married in 2002 but eventually separated. In spite of this, the ex-couple remained cordial. When the news of Granada falling into coma broke, Aguas flew to Doha to watch over his ex-wife. Granada\u2019s husband, son, and mother, Guapa, were also by the actress\u2019s side during the last days of her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no such thing as a “broken family.” Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart,\u201d Aguas shared as testament to his devotion to his family in which Granada was part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi man nag<\/em>-work ang ating<\/em> marriage, pero lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa pag<\/em>-spend mo ng buhay<\/em> with me for more than a decade [Our marriage might not have worked but I am extremely grateful to you for spending more than a decade of your life with me],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

While on a business trip in Doha, Granada was rushed to a hospital after collapsing. Hours after, she slipped into a coma and was diagnosed to have suffered from a \u201cbrain hemorrhage which indicates aneurysm and in turn affected her heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

On October 27, Granada was declared brain dead. Eight days after, she passed on.<\/p>\n

Cowley said that his wife\u2019s remain will be flown back to the Philippines on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In an interview with GMA News, he said that Granada\u2019s family is planning to cremate the remains of the actress. Cowley said that while he and Granada were attending a wake in Australia, his wife communicated that she would opt for cremation when her time comes. Whether Granada would be buried or cremated would still depend on what her mother would choose, Cowley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
