Just days before the holidays, the actress lost both of her parents.
Both of Alicia Witt’s parents died under unusual circumstances; the pair was discovered dead in their house, but detectives had no idea how they died.
In a statement to E! News, Alicia claimed she contacted a relative who lives near her parents to check on them after not hearing back from them for several days.
“Sadly, the outcome was unimaginable. I ask for some privacy at this time to grieve and to wrap my head around this turn of events, and this surreal loss.”
While the Worcester Police Department was unable to release the victims’ identities, they did confirm to the outlet that authorities were summoned to a property and found a man and female dead.
A neighbor reportedly informed the outlet that the pair didn’t leave their house too often. Neighbors allegedly volunteered to assist the couple as their house deteriorated, but they respectfully rejected.
Alicia Witt is most recognized for her appearances in “Orange Is the New Black,” “Twin Peaks,” and “Dune,” in addition to her “The Walking Dead” stardom.

I always really liked her. A crush when younger then just respected the works I saw. This leaves me heartbroken for her.
