Sarah Goldberg, the actor from "7th Heaven," has died in a family cabin from natural causes. The 40-year-old "Jurassic Park III" star passed away in her sleep on Friday, September 27.
Mail Online reports that Goldberg died in her sleep after family confirmed the incident. Goldberg met her end in a family cabin in Wisconsin, with the cause being suspected heart condition. Goldberg is known for "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Training Day," "Judging Amy," "Without a Trace," "House," and "90210."
According to the article, the autopsy failed to give any clear indication of how the star has died. Extra says that the report is listed as natural causes, but the star apparently had a heart condition. When Goldberg's mother was asked, she told Chicago Sun-Times, "She went to sleep and didn't wake up." The actor still had her computer in her lap, adds the article.
Mail Online shares that Goldberg also went by the stage name Sarah Danielle Madison, with CBS Chicago adding that Goldberg's career started with "Cinderella" in a Chicago City Ballet production. Goldberg graduated from Latin School of Chicago and proceeded to Amherst College, where she finished a degree in biology. Her path to Hollywood started then, earning roles for "CSI," "The Beast," and "In Plain Sight."
Chicago Sun-Times shares, "Sarah Goldberg landed her first show business break because of table linens." Apparently, Goldberg was helping on the set of "My Best Friend's Wedding" and ended up having some time on-screen as a wedding scene extra. This changed things for the actor, who was supposed to study medicine, but was "bitten by the acting bug."
"7th Heaven" is credited as her most prominent role, which she got after five months of auditions. Goldberg played the role of Sarah Glass Camden, the daughter of Richard Lewis, who was portraying a rabbi. She was also seen in the film "Training Day" as a drug-addicted college student.
CBS Chicago mentions that Goldberg's family prefers contributions to the Sarah Goldberg Memorial Fund at PAWS instead of sending flowers for the deceased.
