Jho Rovero’s health battle was well known among fans as her husband Andrew Schimmer was documenting their journey on social media. After spending a year in a coma, she succumbed to complications due to severe asthma and cardiac arrest. Rovero also suffered from hypoxemia, which occurs when the oxygen levels in the arteries go below-normal and result in breathing difficulties.
Andrew Schimmer took to Facebook to announce the death of his wife. He shared an image of him and his wife intertwining their fingers. It appeared like the couple were wearing their wedding bands. He captioned the photo:
“The Love of my Life… my wife.. my best friend.. my partner in everything. Remember your promise, together forever”
