Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor died early this morning at the age of 79. She was hospitalized some time ago at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

While the official cause of death has yet to be released, it is believed that she suffered from and was being treated for congestive heart failure.

A rep for Taylor said the following; [Ms Taylor died] “peacefully today in Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, this was not to be.”

Taylor has a plot in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in L.A. where she’ll rest with fellow legends Marilyn Monroe, Walter Mathau, Farrah Fawcett & Dean Martin.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this time. May she rest in peace.
