Keaton kept her private life very close to her chest before her death. According to People, her condition «deteriorated very suddenly» before her passing.
«She deteriorated very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her», - a friend of Keaton told the magazine. «It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit».
A source close to Keaton added that even in the last months, she did not disclose her health to some of her friends.

The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to Keaton’s home in California on October 11, 2025. They transported an unknown person to the hospital, CNN and ABC News reported.
The cause of Keaton’s death at the time of publication was not announced. However, given her history with skin cancer, fans speculated about the consequences of the illness.
The main health issue Keaton faced was skin cancer. During a 2015 interview with the Los Angeles Times, the late actress talked about how this disease ran in her family.
«It's a family story», - she explained. «I remember my aunt Martha had such a terrible skin cancer that they removed her nose. My father had basal cell skin cancer, and so did my brother. It’s tough with this skin cancer. So you have to wear sunscreen».
Keaton was diagnosed with basal cell skin cancer in her 20s, and then she was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer a decade later. The second diagnosis required two surgeries for removal, according to the Times
