Nadia Farès dies after losing consciousness in a swimming pool in Paris “Investigations suggest a sudden heart attack may have caused her loss of consciousness”

French actress Nadia Farès passed away at the age of 57, hours after being found unconscious in a swimming pool at a luxury sports club in the French capital, Paris.

The news, announced by her two daughters, carried double the sorrow. It was not just the loss of a well-known artist, but the loss of a mother to her family. In their statement, they said that France had lost a prominent artistic figure, while they had lost an irreplaceable human support.

She suddenly lost consciousness

According to details, the late actress was swimming normally before suddenly losing consciousness in the pool. Within minutes, one of the people present attempted to save her by performing CPR, in a desperate effort to bring her back from a critical moment that nearly ended her life on the spot.

She was immediately transferred to a hospital, where she was admitted to intensive care in a coma, before her condition deteriorated later due to a heart attack that ended her life, despite attempts to save her.

“A sudden heart attack”

Forensic results revealed that the actress remained underwater for several minutes, which worsened her condition. Investigations suggested that a sudden heart attack was likely behind her loss of consciousness, especially given her medical history, which included heart surgeries following a previous vascular rupture.

Nadia Farès was born in Marrakesh before moving with her family to southern France, where she grew up in Nice, and later made her way to Paris to begin her artistic career, which started in the early 1990s.

She became known to audiences through her notable film appearances, with her name standing out particularly in The Crimson River alongside Jean Reno, where she delivered a remarkable performance that made her one of the distinguished faces in psychological thriller cinema.

She also took part in diverse artistic experiences and formed a notable collaboration with director Bernie Bonvoisin, before stepping away from the spotlight for years and moving to Los Angeles with her husband, producer Steve Chasman.

With her passing, not only does a rich artistic chapter come to a close, but the story of a woman who lived between the spotlight and absence also ends—taken suddenly, leaving behind a lasting artistic legacy and a deeply human memory that will not be forgotten.
