Transgender activist and actor Alexis Arquette apparently from AIDS-related complications, according to RadarOnline.com.

Alexis' family has stated that the bigger-than-life personality died from an unspecified illness.

However Alexis' ex Robert Dupont told Radar, “Alexis was living with AIDS and she had an inoperable tumor and she had developed an infection ... I was told that went to her liver and throughout her body.”

Dupont, who famously ran in Andy Warhol‘s posse, dated Arquette for several years in the 1990s and said the Wedding Singer star was placed “in an induced coma” before passing away.

Dupont shed more light on the sad situation: “She was working as an artist and living in an Actors Fund home in West Hollywood for people with HIV and AIDS. She hated it. People kept breaking into her apartment and they did alcohol and drugs. Alexis hated that. She never did drugs and she didn’t drink."

On Sunday, September 11, x17online.com broke the news that Alexis has died surrounded by friends and family.
