November 2, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) — Fans of anime are shocked upon hearing the news that voice actress and singer Miyu Matsuki passed away October 27 due to an illness. She was 38.
Matsuki had announced, in July, she would be taking a break from her work to focus on recovering from pneumonia. She said at the time that she had a fever since the start of the year that wouldn’t recede. Later the voice actress found out she had acute pneumonia after repeatedly going to the hospital for check-ups.
