BELOVED MATRIARCH

‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ Star’s Cause of Death Revealed

The 91-year-old battled several health conditions leading up to her death.

Kris Jenner’s mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, died at 91 of acute cardiopulmonary arrest. Her death certificate revealed she was also battling acute respiratory failure and metastatic lung cancer leading up to her death. Jenner announced her mother’s death on July 16 in a heartfelt Instagram post, calling MJ “the heart of our family” and thanking her for a lifetime of love and support. The matriarch was cremated on July 23. “There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye,” Jenner wrote. “She taught me everything that truly matters… to love your family fiercely, to be kind, and to never take a single moment together for granted.” Campbell died 10 days before what would have been her 92nd birthday. Her family turned the day into a celebration of life, gathering at the La Valencia Hotel bar in San Diego. Campbell often appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and, later, The Kardashians.
