Melanoma - skin cancer (Eva Marie Cassidy Died on November 2nd 1996 at her home in Bowie, Maryland aged only 33). During a promotional event for her album "Live at Blues Alley" in July 1996, Eva felt an ache and stiffness in her hips which she thought was attributed to her amount of time spent on a ladder painting murals. The pain became constant and a few weeks later she was diagnosed with melanoma. By the time she was diagnosed in September 1996 the cancer had already metastasized. Eva had opted for aggressive treatment, but her health deteriorated rapidly. Eva's doctors gave her three to five months to live. Three years earlier Eva had a malignant mole removed from her back. Eva Cassidy Born FEB 2,1963 Died at her family home on: NOV 2,1996 There is a very good book that was wrote about Eva Cassidy's life. It is called Eva Cassidy: Songbird: Her True Story It is a must read for any of her fans. Cassidy's body was cremated. Her ashes were scattered on the shores of St. Mary's River Watershed Park, a nature reserve near California, Maryland
