Stone did not disclose the cause of her motherâs death. However, her family has a history of strokes, and the actress has been candid about her personal experiences with brain-aging conditions. According to The Daily Mail, she spoke at a 2019 benefit event, saying, “This is why I do it: My mother had a stroke. My grandmother had a stroke. I had a massive stroke â and a nine-day brain bleed.”
