Resident Evil Village actress Jeanette Maus – who plays various characters in the game, including the witches you may have seen in the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 survival horror’s latest gameplay trailer – has passed away aged 39. Capcom issued a statement on Twitter paying tribute to the star, who sadly died last weekend due to complications with colon cancer.
“We here at Capcom R&D 1 are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jeanette Maus, the talented actress who helped bring several different characters, including our witches, to the world in Resident Evil Village,” the company said. “Our hearts go out to her family and loved ones.”
In addition to working on shows like Charm City Kings, Maus taught acting at John Rosenfeld Studios, which released the following statement: “She had an indomitable spirit and was hungry to be the best person, the best teacher, the best friend and the best actor she could be. The world lost a force of nature and we will be feeling that for a long time. We are lucky to have known her, and she has touched all of us that knew her.”
Our thoughts are with Maus’ family and friends.

Sad news, she was a young woman, R. I. P

cancer is the real evil of this world.

Very young. So sad news, R.I.P
Really, really sad news. Her being only 39 makes it even worse.
R.I.P. So sad from someone so young.
That's terrible her performance made a huge impression in such a short amount of screen time we've seen such a tragedy R.I.P and thoughts to her loved ones
Goddamn it! This sort of stuff always depresses me, when someone so young passes away when they still had their whole life ahead of them, Rest in Peace.
So sad to die at this young age. Thankfully we will still be able to appreciate her talent in Resi 8!
F*** cancer btw...
Sad. Seems like the recommended age for colon cancer screenings should really be lowered. Not that this would save everyone but it's probably just not something that's even on the radar in your 30s.
Very sad news. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
39 is way too young. Cancer is a *****. Killed my mom when she was 55, and THAT was too young. My heart goes out to her surviving family members.
I would hope they maybe put a nice memorial at the start or at the end of the game for her
It's very sad to read this, far too young, RIP Jeanette.
That’s sad to hear. May she Rest In Peace
@RBMango she's 1 year older than me, it's hard to think that she died so young
But at least her presence will be imortolized in resident evil forever
Too many good people are dying lately. May she Rest In Peace.
