The cause of death of Clint Eastwood’s longtime girlfriend has been revealed. This news comes shortly after Clint and his daughter publicly expressed their heartbreak.

The Monterey County Health Department has provided information about the death of Clint Eastwood’s partner, Christina Sandera. According to the New York Daily, a representative confirmed that the 61-year-old philanthropist died of a heart attack on July 18. Her death certificate provided additional details about her passing.

In Christina’s death certificate, it reportedly listed “cardiac arrhythmia,” which means an irregular heartbeat. It also mentioned another contributing factor, called “atherosclerotic coronary artery disease,” a condition where the arteries narrow or become blocked.

Now that the details of Christina’s heart complications have come to light, her loss continues to affect those close to her. Clint’s daughter, Morgan Eastwood, recently spoke about Christina’s untimely death.

Morgan paid tribute to her father’s longtime partner by sharing a wedding photo on her Instagram Story. This was the last picture taken of Christina before she died.

In the photo, Clint, who wore a dark blue suit, stood next to Morgan, while Christina, dressed in a green floral-printed outfit, stood beside Morgan’s husband, Tanner Koopmans.

Accompanying Morgan’s photo was her message that read, “A devastating loss for our whole family. Thank you Christina for being a good partner to my Dad ❤️ you will be greatly missed.” Clint had expressed his sadness over her girlfriend’s death.

The couple had been together since 2014 and kept their relationship private during those years. On July 19, Clint confirmed Christina’s death in a heartfelt statement, “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.”

Christina’s death came shortly after she attended Morgan and Tanner’s wedding in June. At the event, Christina radiated beauty in a flowing white gown that elegantly displayed her baby bump. Tanner looked handsome in a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt.

Another photo showed Tanner and Morgan sharing a passionate kiss, while another featured them posing with their bulldog, dressed up for the occasion. Morgan also posed gracefully with her baby bump visible under her veil, capturing a serene moment.

In a touching moment, Clint was photographed gently placing his hand on his daughter’s baby bump, adding a heartfelt touch to the celebration.

The newlyweds celebrated their union with a joyful cake-cutting ceremony. Netizens who saw the photos quickly congratulated Morgan on this special occasion. “Unreal!!! The most perfect day for the most perfect couple ❤️,” exclaimed one fan.

Another admirer was moved by Clint’s touching gesture, commenting, “Omg the pic of Clint holding her bump… so cute 😭🥹🖤” A supportive follower expressed their pride with a heartfelt message, “The most gorgeous bride, cheers to you both! “

Morgan’s half-sister, Francesca Eastwood, also joined in the celebration on Instagram. She shared photos from the ceremony and penned a sweet caption, “My little sister married her best friend.” Like Francesca, Morgan’s mom, Dina Ruiz also shared glimpses of the occasion.

Dina shared a short montage from the wedding, giving people a glimpse into the event. She expressed gratitude for being surrounded by the most important people in her life during her daughter and son-in-law’s special day.

Dina also reflected on the joy of the occasion. She humorously mentioned how quickly she got exhausted and wished she could still “tie one on!” She thanked those who encouraged her to embrace and enjoy every moment, acknowledging that their advice worked well.

Morgan’s beautiful wedding ceremony was held at Clint’s ranch, where Christina used to live. The ranch, built in the early 1850s, was almost falling apart when Clint purchased it.

The veteran actor transformed the place into a luxurious retreat. This consists of 31 guest rooms, a renovated restaurant and bar, and scenic views. The property also has a workout room and tennis court.

Clint’s connection to the ranch dates back to when he was 21 and a recruit at Fort Ord. Looking for a quick, cheap meal and a soda, he discovered the ranch. It used to be a modest restaurant and hotel, previously a dairy farm and the Fort Ord officers’ club.

He immediately fell in love with the place. “The first time I saw the place, I thought it was terrific. Visually, it was something else, and I thought it was the place I’d like to call home. So I kind of adopted Carmel,” Clint recalled.

After finding success in Hollywood, Clint returned, bought the ranch, and undertook extensive renovations. He turned it into a home and a haven for those looking to escape their busy lives.

The ranch holds a special place in Clint’s heart because it’s where he directed his first movie. In the 1980s, when the property was about to be torn down for a condominium development, Clint swooped in and saved it by spending $5 million.

“I had always loved the place, and they were just going to flatten it. They said it was obsolete. I thought it should be preserved as what it was,” he shared.

The ranch features tended flowers, cypress, and eucalyptus trees. The restaurant is lively and bustling, with an active bar. A night in one of the guest houses offers stunning views of the Carmel River and a sandy beach.

The ranch also features lush wetlands, a beautiful sea view, and the rocky Monterey coastline, with assorted farm animals, including goats, sheep, and horses.

Although Clint Eastwood no longer has Christina to share the ranch with, he still has his family, especially Morgan. Despite the sorrow, Morgan’s words and cherished wedding memories highlight Christina’s lasting impact. The love and support from friends and fans further testify to her enduring influence.
