Cal Wilson, a New Zealand-born comedian, died on October 11, 2023, at the age of 53, following a short illness that was kept private. The specific illness that caused her death has not been publicly revealed, but there has been speculation that she may have had cancer. Wilsons management company, Token Artists, said in a statement that she died after a "short illness". Before her death, Wilson was known to be dealing with an undisclosed illness, and the details about her health condition were never revealed, presumably due to privacy concerns.
