A former cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs has died “unexpectedly” after giving birth as a result of sepsis—a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s improper response to an infection.

Krystal “Krissy” Anderson passed away on March 20 at the age of 40 while surrounded by family. She died shortly after delivering a stillborn daughter, Charlotte Willow, per her online obituary. She was also preceded in death by an infant son, James Charles.
