PARIS — Yesterday marked the passing of fashion luminary Karl Lagerfeld. And with his passing, of course, came rumors of just how he died. Multiple reports out this morning indicate that Lagerfled possibly died of pancreatic cancer.

News of his pending death swirled after Lagerfeld notably missed a fashion show in Paris, essentially, for the first time in decades earlier this month. Chanel confirmed hours after his death that a new female face is set to take over the brand. She is the first creative director to be a woman since Coco Chanel herself.
