Doherty died over the weekend after a years-long battle with cancer. Her passing was confirmed by her longtime publicist, Leslie Sloane, on Sunday.“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Sloane said in a statement to People.“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane continued. “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie.

The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”In January, Doherty — who was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 — revealed on her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast that she wanted her loved ones to distribute her ashes “in a healthy mixture.”“I want [my remains] to be mixed with my dog, and I want it to be mixed with my dad.

I do not want to be buried and not cremated,” she said at the time. She also suggested scattering her and her father’s ashes in Malibu, Calif., where they spent “precious time” together or using her remains to “grow them into a tree.”Doherty stayed good friends with several of her “Charmed” and “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-stars.

But for her funeral, she hoped it would be a smaller affair.“There’s a lot of people that I think would show up that I don’t want there.
