Emma took care of Olivia during her cancer treatments at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre. The Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA) said that she passed away after a “short illness,” but did not reveal the cause of death specifically.

Olivia wrote, “My heart is still in shock and so saddened to learn of the sudden loss of the very special Emma Cohen. Emma took care of me at a very vulnerable time in my life when I was a patient on her unit at the @onjcancercentre in 2018.”
