I deeply admire Shannen Doherty for her strength and determination, especially during the final stages of her life when she was fighting not only for her health but also for the resolution of her contentious divorce battle with Kurt Iswarienko. It’s heartbreaking to learn that she passed away on July 13, a day after signing the necessary paperwork to end their marriage.
Shannen Doherty was going through a difficult divorce process with her ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko as she neared the end of her life. Despite the challenges, Doherty, known for her role in Beverly Hills, 90210, made an effort to finalize the divorce. She signed the necessary documents on July 12, just one day before she passed away on July 13.
When Doherty passed away, he went ahead and signed the necessary documents, carrying out the required checks beforehand. However, there are conflicting reports suggesting that Doherty was still legally married at the time of her death.
Shannen Doherty died a married woman — Legal breakdown
In April 2023, Doherty initiated the divorce process from Iswarienko, a photographer she married in 2011. However, the divorce proceedings took an unusually long time and remained unresolved for approximately 15 months. On the day prior to her passing, Doherty signed the necessary paperwork to finalize the divorce, opting for an “uncontested dissolution” – a mutual agreement outside of court, implying they had settled their marital issues amicably.
Despite Doherty’s death preceding the formal signing of the divorce judgment by a judge, the divorce wouldn’t have been considered final at the time of her passing, as assessed by California lawyer David Esquibias for People magazine. According to the Associated Press, the family law judge signed the divorce papers for Doherty and Iswarienko two days following the actress’ demise.
Iswarienko and Doherty eventually gave up their claims for spousal support, a point of dispute between them during the past year.
According to legal professionals, Doherty’s completion of the divorce proceedings with Iswarienko prior to her passing is advantageous for her posthumously. This action prevents Iswarienko from contesting Doherty’s estate. Family law attorney Ashley Silberfeld expressed to People, “Doherty put up a valiant effort.”
Shannen Doherty’s battle with cancer
In 2015, Doherty received a breast cancer diagnosis. She publicly shared her journey of battling the illness on social media until her passing last weekend. After making significant progress and going into remission in 2017, her cancer unfortunately returned as stage 4 disease in 2020.
With deep sadness, I announce that Shannen Doherty, an accomplished actress, passed away on July 13, after a long and brave fight against cancer. Her loved ones were by her side as she took her final leave in peace. (Leslie Sloane, her publicist, made this statement.)
