Trans actress Alexis Arquette, who died ten days ago, suffered a cardiac arrest following a bacterial infection after battling HIV for 29 years. Arquette, who appeared in a number of films and TV series died aged 47 on September 11. Announcing the death brother Rich wrote: "Our brother Robert, who became our brother Alexis, who became our sister Alexis, who became our brother Alexis, passed this morning September 11, at 12:32 am. He was surrounded by all of his brothers and sisters, one of his nieces and several other loved ones. We were playing music for him and he passed during David Bowie's Starman. As per his wishes, we cheered at the moment that he transitioned to another dimension." The just-released death certificate reportedly lists cardiac arrest as her immediate cause of death and that Arquette suffered a bacterial infection three weeks before her death. HIV is also noted as an underlying cause of death. In a strange twist a porn website has apparently purchased a sex video of Arquette and has destroyed it. A former lover was apparently offering the video which was purchased by the site for US$25,000.
