'ER' Actress Mary Mara Dead After Drowning In NY River!!

Mary Mara, who played Loretta Sweet on ER, has died…and the cops suspect she died from drowning.

Reports suggest that Mara went swimming in the St. Lawrence River, according to a New York State Police. Her body showed no signs of foul play but the authorities think she drowned. An autopsy will confirm how she died.

“Mary was one in a million—one of the best actresses I ever met,” Mara’s manager, Craig Dorfman, said in a statement. “I saw her for the first time off-Broadway in 1992 in Mad Forest and she was electrifying. She was unique, wickedly funny and a wonderful woman who will be missed.”

Crushed to learn of Mary Mara’s untimely passing. We performed together back in 2008 in Malcolm Danare’s “In Heat” at the Lost Playhouse in LA. She was plowing through the aftereffects of Chemo. Brave, brilliant, Uber-talented. Earth will be much less-colorful without her. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/sj1U8c6hyK
