Fans lost Irish Grinstead, a beloved member of platinum-selling R&B group 702, in September 2023. She was 43 years old. Kidney failure was the root reason, the same disease that claimed the life of her identical twin sister Orish in 2008, when she was only 27 years old. The music industry and her devoted followers are in grief as they reflect on the groundbreaking music and infectious enthusiasm she provided to the late ’90s R&B scene.
Irish Grinstead Cause of Death
Irish Grinstead’s determination was undimmed despite her early diagnosis of kidney disease. She struggled with kidney ailment, yet she rose to fame with 702. She also worked to raise awareness of the disease. Her health deteriorated in her final years, necessitating regular dialysis treatments.
The fact that she was added to the list for a kidney transplant provided some optimism, but fate had other ideas. She passed away, sadly, before a kidney match could be found.
