5 | Tada passed away suddenly in 1999, via [[DeathByFallingOver slipping and hitting her head on a granite table]] when she, her husband Shigeru Nishikawa, ''and'' their 10-year-old son [[DiabolusExMachina were moving into their new home]]. Her injuries left her in a coma, [[TimeDelayedDeath and she died three weeks later]] at age 38. By that time she had [[DiedDuringProduction not finished her most famous work]], ''Manga/ItazuraNaKiss''; she had planned the ending, however, and it was used in the anime adaptation. |
