Nadia Farès Dies: ‘The Crimson Rivers’ Actress Was 57

Moroccan French actress Nadia Farès, who last week was found unconscious in a swimming pool and has been in a coma ever since, died yesterday at the age of 57.

Her daughters confirmed her death, caused by cardiac arrest, in a statement to Agence France-Presse.

“It is with immense sadness that we announce the death this Friday of Nadia Farès. France has lost a great artist, but for us, it is above all a mother that we have just lost,” Cylia and Shana Chasman wrote.

The Marrakesh-born actress is best known for her breakout role in 2000’s The Crimson Rivers, the acclaimed Mathieu Kassovitz-directed conspiracy thriller in which she starred opposite Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel.
