The foundation broke the news of Doris’ death, and revealed she had been in good health until recently falling ill.
They said in a statement: " Day had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia , resulting in her death. She was surrounded by a few close friends as she passed."

William posted: "Condolences to the family of Doris Day. She was the World’s Sweetheart and beloved by all. Que Será, Será! (sic)"
And George tweeted: "For those of us in my generation, Doris Day was synonymous with Hollywood icon. She would no doubt remind us, upon this day of her passing, "Que sera sera," but we will miss her dearly anyway. Rest now in our hearts forever, Ms. Day.(sic)"
