The sad news was announced in a social media post from the presidential library.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”

As detailed in a personal essay this past fall, it was shared that she had been suffering from AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
This condition is a disease that targets the body's blood-forming tissues.
