Actress Diane Keaton died on Saturday after falling ill with pneumonia, according to a death certificate obtained by CNN.<\/p>\n
Specifically, Keaton\u2019s cause of death was listed on the document as \u201cprimary bacterial pneumonia,\u201d with no other significant conditions listed as contributing factors.<\/p>\n
The death certificate indicates Keaton, 79, has been cremated.<\/p>\n
It also indicates that no autopsy was performed. As CNN has previously reported, even in high-profile deaths, the Los Angeles medical examiner may not get involved if a death clearly appears to be from natural causes.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told CNN on Saturday that they received a call for medical assistance on Saturday morning at Keaton\u2019s address and paramedics transferred a person to a hospital. A law enforcement source confirmed the person transported was Keaton.<\/p>\n
Keaton was a celebrated and prolific actor whose career spanned decades and included many accolades, including an Academy Award, which she won for \u201cAnnie Hall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since her passing, her colleagues and friends have shared tributes to the late star, remembering her as a person of humor, heart and singular talent.<\/p>\n
Filmmaker Nancy Meyers, Keaton\u2019s friend of 40 years who directed her in \u201cSomething\u2019s Gotta Give,\u201d wrote in a tribute posted to Instagram<\/a> that she was the kind of actress and performer who \u201cmade everything better.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEvery set up, every day, in every movie, I watched her give it her all,\u201d she said. \u201cShe was fearless, she was like nobody ever, she was born to be a movie star, her laugh could make your day and, for me, knowing her and working with her – changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
