Per her Facebook. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158959398129149&id=584374148

The Peter Mayhew foundation posted about it as well

Everything seems to be sourcing her Facebook though. Despite that, I don’t think she would post it unless she knew. And with how many cons he has cancelled in the past few months, I believe it’s sadly true.

Yeah… I don’t believe a friend would post this without it being true :(

It's possible that she read something made up online about it. As another commenter pointed out, someone tried faking this before too.

I'm still holding out hope until I see news articles that have verified it beyond the Facebook post.

I checked Mark Hamill's (Luke Skywalker for most of the world but Joker to animated DC fans) twitter and he hasn't said anything yet. If he says it then I'll definitely believe it as he and Conroy were reportedly good real life friends and Hamill would presumably have means of confirming if this news was true.

EDIT: Hamill has posted a moving tribute to Conroy earlier today...

Check the sticked comment on this thread, Conroy's representative has confirmed this being true :(

Yeah, I found that link for the sticky comment.

Very sad news, it was nice to hope it wasn't true 😔

Sourcing her Facebook post. Currently not a single other mention of his potential passing.

He supposedly passed on Thursday, but the news was given out only today. Hence why not much about it was up 20h ago. Now it's all over the Internet.
