Gary Cole: What happened with his wife Teddi Siddall?

Gary Cole, long known from movies like Office Space and Dodgeball, married the actress Teddi Siddall in 1992. The marriage lasted 25 years, but Siddall filed for divorce from Cole in June 2017, according to TMZ.

However, a few months after the divorce filing, Teddi Siddall passed away. She died at the age of just 64 in February 2018. And very little has ever come out about her death.
