An obituary for Leslie was published by The Burlington County Times on Thursday, which confirmed her death on August 22.

On whether she would return for a sequel, Hamilton told The Hollywood Reporter: “I would be quite happy to never return. So no, I am not hopeful, because I would really love to be done.
“But if there were something new that really spoke to me, I am a logical person, and I will always consider viable changes.”
No plans for a sequel to Terminator: Dark Fate have been announced.
