Karen Carpenter’s Passing In 1983
Sadly, at the young age of 32, Karen Carpenter died in 1983. Karen suddenly collapsed at her parent’s house and was taken to Downey Community Hospital, a 25-minute drive away. In fact, she suffered from anorexia nervosa, a compulsive diet-related disorder, and the cause of her death was cardiac arrest. Karen’s anorexia was the reason behind the cancelation of Queen Elizabeth’s 1975 performance of The Carpenters and their concert tour in Europe and the Orient. She continued performing, however, almost until her sudden death.
