Young actress passes away suddenly

Actress Danika McGuigan known for her roles in 'Can't Cope, Won't Cope', 'The Secret Scripture' and 'Wildfire' passed away suddenly on July 23rd after a short illness due to cancer-related complications. The 33 year old was the daughter of former boxing champion Barry McGuigan.

Nika as she was fondly called was very close to her parents and siblings and her brother Shane took to social media to post emotionally It breaks my heart to write this. My beautiful sister Danika lost her battle with cancer in the early hours of Tuesday morning, at the young age of 33. She overcame it once with a 2-year fight when she was 11 to 13. Myself, my brothers & parents were privileged to have another 20 years since the first battle with our amazing Nika. Unfortunately, Nika couldn’t beat it again but she fought so bravely until the end. I have memories that I’ll cherish for a lifetime & you will live on forever in spirit.
I’m so so proud of you! Love you forever my older ‘little’ sister. RIP
