Actress, Lisa Spoonauer, whose death shocked her family and friends last weekend, had been reportedly sick for years prior to her death.


Sources close to Lisa's immediate family tell TMZ, she's been battling several chronic illnesses for 10 years prior to her death Saturday. The illnesses were not disclosed, but were described as degenerative.

Lisa's family was aware of her ailments, but never suspected her condition was bad enough to kill her. Although she's been in and out of hospitals for years, she died at home.

The coroner says Lisa died of natural causes, which her doctor signed off on.
