Disco legend Donna Summer died on Thursday of cancer — feared to be triggered by toxic dust from the 9/11 attacks. The 63-year-old singer was in New York when al-Qaeda destroyed the Twin Towers in 2001.

Donna died in Florida aged 63 after a long battle with lung cancer. She had been in her nearby apartment when the deadly cloud containing asbestos, lead and mercury filled the sky after the al-Qaeda jet hijack atrocity in 2001.
