Japanese actress Sayaka Kanda, who voiced Disney’s Japanese dub of “Frozen,” playing Anna has died. She was 35.
Kanda was found unconscious on Saturday 18th December outside her hotel in the northern Japanese city of Sapporo. She was taken to a hospital but didn’t survive.
Representatives for the late actress believe she fell from her room on the 14th story of the 22-floor hotel, local publication Kyodo News reported.
Police are investigating the case as a probable suicide. However, authorities have not yet ruled out foul play, the outlet added.
The actress had been at a rehearsal for a performance of the musical “My Fair Lady” on Friday but missed a Saturday rehearsal, her producers noted.
