Remember in "Meet the Parents" when Ben Stiller smashes his fiance's sister in the face with a volleyball? The actress has passed away, I'm shocked. From the IMDB 'Meet the Parents' Actress Dies After Two Misdiagnoses The actress who was famously smashed in the face by a volleyball in the Meet The Parents comedy died last month after two medics misdiagnosed her pneumonia. Nicole DeHuff, who played Teri Polo's sister in the hilarious 2000 movie, checked into three Los Angeles hospitals, but only when her problems became inoperable did doctors realize what was wrong with her. The actress' mother Patsie says, "By the time she reached the third hospital, it was too late. She was unconscious." The grieving mother reveals her daughter was rushed to hospital on February 12 but was sent home by medics and told to take painkiller Tylenol. Patsie DeHuff recalls, "The next day my daughter was worse." Again, the actress went to hospital, but this time medics prescribed antibiotics for bronchitis. Two days later, paramedics rushed to her home after she collapsed, gasping for breath. The tragic actress died on February 16. Here is her IMDB page www.imdb.com/name/nm0215015/This is so sad. She was so young and pretty and talented.

Siberia, I'm so sorry you've been so sick. What you had sounds frightening.
It's tragic to die so young and so unnecessarily.

That's really a terrible shame that something like that could happen. It really gives you a sense of your own mortality, doesn't it.
