No cause of death has been revealed. Kirkland had reportedly suffered injuries in a recent fall, a development that led her loved ones to check her into hospice.
News of Kirkland’s passing comes courtesy of TMZ, who has reportedly been in contact with her loved ones.
Most recent updates have come from a GoFundMe page that Kirkland’s family set up to defray the cost of her medical care.

“Thank you for all your love and support. Sally is grateful for your kindness and love,” the most recent message reads, adding:
“Sally is on hospice now and is resting comfortably. Please hold and send the light for Sally,” it continues, adding:
“This past year Sally fractured four bones in her neck, right wrist, and her left hip.
“While recovering she developed two separate life-threatening infections,” the post continues.
“The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover.”
