CHICAGO, April 5 (UPI) — Roger Ebert’s wife of 20 years, Chaz, said the famed Chicago film critic smiled just before he died peacefully after a battle with cancer.
“We were getting ready to go home today for hospice care, when he looked at us, smiled, and passed away,” Chaz Ebert said Thursday in a statement to People.com. “No struggle, no pain, just a quiet, dignified transition.”
