LAURA BRANIGAN – BRAIN ANEURYSM
Brannigan was born on July 3, 1957 and grew up in Brewster, New York. She attended the Manhattan Academy of Dramatic Arts. In the late 1970s, she toured Europe as a supporter of Canadian singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen. In 1982, she signed up with Atlantic Records as a solo artist. Laura Branigan would always be heard through her classic song that was a certified platinum in 1982. It was none other than the hit single Gloria. She also released another chart-topping cover, titled Self Control. Both songs were well-received by her audience worldwide.
Sadly, she lost her life while sleeping in her real estate investment in East Quogue. Medical practitioners pointed out the culprit, and it was because of an undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm. Reports have it that the singer and songwriter experienced several episodes of headaches a few weeks before the unfortunate incident occurred, but had not sought medical attention.
