Sarah Paulson took to social media this weekend to mourn the untimely passing of her fellow American Horror Story actor Rose Siggins. Siggins died on Saturday in a Denver hospital at the age of 43. Siggins played the role of Legless Suzi on American Horror Story.
It was later on Saturday that Sarah Paulson shared her grief on Twitter.
The AHS family lost one of our own… Rose Siggins was an absolute light… I will never forget your laugh or your beautiful eyes.

Rose Siggins was “born with a rare genetic disorder known as sacral agenesis.” As a result her legs were deformed with her feet pointing in opposite directions before she had them amputated. None of this prevented her from having a normal childhood, however. She went on to marry and have two children, son Luke and daughter Shelby Cecilia. Those children are of great concern to Sarah Paulson, who shared a second message via Twitter, urging all to donate to a GoFundMe page set up in Siggins’ honor to benefit her kids.
Please consider helping to support her family at this difficult time. Two more spectacular children never existed. https://t.co/WgfahrAHWC

On Sunday it was clear Rose Siggins’ death was weighing heavily on Sarah Paulson’s heart and mind. She shared a photo of herself with Siggins and Jessica Lange.

While it’s devastating to lose a loved one, friend, or co-worker, it’s almost always harder when that death occurs during the holidays.
Sarah Paulson and all the American Horror Story family are grieving. They are likely banding together, too, to do what they can for Rose Siggins’ children.
