Fallece Mya-Lecia Naylor, actriz de la serie ‘The Witcher’, a los 16 años

La actriz Mya-Lecia Naylor, conocida por series como Absolutely Fabulous, Millie Inbetween y Almost Never y por películas como Cloud Atlas, falleció a los 16 años.

Naylor estaba trabajando en la adaptación de Netflix de The Witcher, la saga de novelas de fantasía escrita por Andrzej Sapkowski en la que a su vez se basaron los populares videojuegos The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings y The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

La cadena CBBC dio a conocer la noticia a través de un comunicado:

“Lamentamos mucho informar que Mya-Lecia, a quien conocen por Millie Inbetween y Almost Never, tristemente ha fallecido. Mya-Lecia era una integrante muy amada de la familia BBC Niños y una talentosa actriz, cantante y bailarina. La extrañaremos enormemente y estamos seguros de que querrán unirse en mandar un mensaje de amor a su familia y amigos.”

En el comunicado no hay información sobre la causa de su muerte, pero BBC News reportó que los agentes de Naylor dijeron que falleció el pasado 7 de abril después de haber colapsado.

La cuenta de Instagram de la serie Almost Never se unió a la pena y publicó un mensaje para expresar su sentir:

“Nuestros pensamientos están con la familia, amigos y todos los que hayan amado a Mya-Lecia en este momento tan triste.”

Paul Rose, guionista de esa misma serie, también publicó un mensaje para expresar sus condolencias:

“Me estoy enterando de la devastadora noticia de que Mya-Leci Naylor ha muerto. He estado escribiendo guiones de la temporada dos de Almost Never desde el año pasado, todos con el personaje de Mya. Era demasiado joven y es una gran pérdida para todos en el programa. Mi corazón está con su familia.”

Found out the heartbreaking news last week that Mya-Lecia Naylor has died. I’d been writing scripts for S2 of Almost Never since last year, all featuring Mya’s character. Far too young, and a huge loss for all on the show. My heart goes out to her family. https://t.co/aThaojBOOU
