According to New York Post, Cheryl, 59 — who appeared in Back to the Future II and also worked as a stunt double for Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba — died alongside her husband Reed Sanders, 56, on February 12.

The couple died in a gun battle outside her ex-husband Lindsey Duncan and his wife Molly’s home, according to reports. 

“All of a sudden, hell began,” Duncan told a press conference of the “absolute, total ambush” that sparked two gun battles with hundreds of shots fired.

According to the Dayton Daily News, Duncan ultimately shot dead his ex-wife and her husband, authorities say. He has not been charged during the ongoing investigation, with the case currently listed as a justifiable homicide.

“The most difficult of this whole process — besides listening to my wife say, ‘I’m going to die, they’re going to kill me’ — is having to tell my two daughters that their mother’s been shot,” Duncan said of the girls he shared with his dead ex-wife, according to Dayton 24/7 Now.

The website Women in Stunts shared the news of her death “with a broken heart,” saying, “she was a dear friend and a wonderful person who often dealt with more in life than anyone should have to deal with.”
