Actress Denise Nickerson, best known as a former child star who appeared in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, has died. Over the past year, Nickerson had been struggling badly with her health following a severe stroke. This week, Nickerson had again been hospitalized and entered into a "coma-like" state after suffering from seizures, and there were no signs of recovery.

None of it was helping, but making her only more uncomfortable," Josh wrote online. "We're telling her it's okay to let go." Nickerson died later in the day at the age of 62.
