The American actress Annie Wersching passed away this Sunday, January 29. She was 45 years old.
The world of the small screen is in mourning this Monday morning. Via one of its representatives who spoke to the media Deadline, we learn the death of Annie Wersching. The American actress was known for her roles in the series “24 Hours” or “Vampire Diaries”. She also played in the series “Star Trek: Picard”, “The Rookie”, and, for fans of video games, lent her voice to Tess in “The Last Of Us ».
There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest of moments. She didn’t need music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to come to us. ‘Go get it. It’s everywhere. And we will find it. As I lead our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would have yelled ‘BYE!” until we were out of earshot and out in the world. I can still hear it ringing. Goodbye my Buddie. ‘I love you little family…,'” her husband Stephen Full wrote in a statement announcing her death.
Annie Wersching leaves behind her husband and their three boys.

Alexei Navalny’s body, which his relatives had been demanding for over a week, has been handed over to his mother, the Russian opposition leader’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.
In recent days, Alexeï Navalny’s team has regularly complained about not having access to the body of the deceased Russian opponent. His relatives had complained that investigators would spend at least 14 days carrying out an “expertise” on his remains before handing them over.
Navalny’s relatives accuse the Kremlin of killing him and trying to cover up his tracks. According to Navalny’s mother, Russia is trying to decompose the body so that it can no longer be examined. Last week, Alexei Navalny’s mother and lawyers were not allowed to enter the morgue.
Eight days after his death, Navalny’s body was returned to his mother. The Russian opponent’s spokeswoman, Kira Iarmich, said on X (ex-Twitter) that she did not yet know whether “the authorities will prevent (the funeral) from taking place as the family wishes and as Alexei deserves ».
Alexei Navalny was the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, where he gained widespread popularity, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to his in-depth investigations into corruption under Vladimir Putin’s regime
