\"Last Saturday she was rushed to the emergency room. She had fluid around her heart, which was compressing down. The cardiologist went to remove the fluid and she went into cardiac arrest. They started CPR, but they were not able to revive her,\" they said, noting how \"heartbroken and devastated\" they are to have lost her. \"It was way too soon, but [we’re] happy in knowing how many lives she has affected. We are so grateful to know that she has so many fans that embraced her with such love and support!\"

Good Dog Animals concluded: \"She will be with us forever! She is the Modern Dog.\"

Cast member Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell Pritchett, took to Twitter to mourn her as well. “Rest In Peace sweet Beatrice. We love you so much,” he wrote alongside a photo of him and his husband, Justin Mikita, posing with Beatrice.
