'AHS' Cast Reactions To Rose Siggins' Death Included Two Big Requests
Early Saturday morning, Dec. 12, American Horror Story cast member Rose Siggins passed away due to complications from kidney stone surgery. AHS cast members reacted to Rose Siggins' death immediately, taking to Twitter and asking fans for a couple of things. The first is was for them to honor Siggins' legacy, not only as an actress, but also as an advocate of the disabled. Siggins, who played Legless Suzi on American Horror Story: Freak Show, had both her legs amputated at the age of two. However, to the AHS cast member, being an amputee didn't make her a freak; it was her normal. In American Horror Story FreakShow: Extra-Ordinary-Artists, Siggins said, "I kind of like the way I am. I wouldn't change it. I couldn't imagine myself being what everybody calls normal; because this is my normal."
AHS cast members are also asking fans to donate to a GoFundMe campaign for Siggins that was created to help pay for her health care. Now that she has passed, the funds raised from that campaign will go to the care of her two children, Luke, 17, and Shelby, 10.
Here are some of the things Siggins' cast members had to say about the sad passing of their AHS co-star.
