A source revealed that Karl Lagerfeld was rushed to a Paris hospital on Monday where he died after suffering from pancreatic cancer.

“He hadn’t gone on about his illness, but battled it very bravely,” said one insider.

“Karl was very proud of his fitness and healthy living, so the pancreatic cancer came as a huge shock.”

“The state of his health had been a cause of concern for a number of weeks.

“He had not been seen at fashion shows that he was expected to attend. Karl was admitted to hospital on Monday, and died on Tuesday morning.”
