On the evening of January 20th 1993, actress and style icon Audrey Hepburn died of a rare form of abdominal cancer, at the age of 63. With an Academy Award and 10 Golden Globe nominations, Audrey was admired not only for her starring roles in My Fair Lady, Breakfast at Tiffany's and War and Peace but also for her style, grace and elegance. Following the birth of her two sons, she retired from acting. She became a humanitarian ambassador, travelling the world with UNICEF and bringing attention to the plight of children in war-torn countries. It was during her last trip to Somalia with UNICEF in 1992 that she started to feel unwell with severe abdominal pains and only three and a half months later, she was dead. In this episode, world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter analyses key moments from Audrey's life and her medical history, as he investigates what caused Audrey's rare cancer and why she couldn't be saved.
