CINEMA: Neighbors actress Miranda Fryer dies in her sleep aged 34.

The actress, who played the role of Sky Man­gel in the soap opera when she was very young, died in her sleep last week.

Fry­er mar­ried his part­ner, Arthur Pothitis two years ago, and planned to start a fam­i­ly with him.

Her fam­i­ly told TV Tonight in a state­ment, “True soul mates, Miran­da and Arthur were plan­ning on start­ing their fam­i­ly, when one day last week she fell asleep and nev­er woke up.”

They con­tin­ued, “We don’t know why. She had had health issues with her heart. Maybe her beau­ti­ful per­son­al­i­ty was just too good for our world.

“We, who all loved her so much, will cher­ish the mem­o­ries she left with us and mourn our loss forever.”

“A beau­ti­ful child, a breath­tak­ing teenag­er, beau­ti­ful inside and out… a woman, with so much love and hap­pi­ness giv­en and received. So many friends, so much more to offer to this van­ished world.

She did not pur­sue her act­ing career after her role in Neighbors.

Instead, Fry­er obtained a nurs­ing degree and was to begin post­grad­u­ate work at Monash Hos­pi­tal in Clay­ton, Aus­tralia in the Depart­ment of Neu­ro­science.
She would also have con­sid­ered a mas­ter’s degree in the subject.

A hard work­er, she had pre­vi­ous­ly stud­ied and obtained a hos­pi­tal­i­ty cer­tifi­cate and an art diploma.

Her moth­er told the Her­ald Sun: ‘She was the most won­der­ful girl. She had so much love and pas­sion for life. ”
