Angelina Jolie's aunt is in a coma dying of cancer, just two weeks after the Hollywood star has revealed how her family was cursed by the disease.

Debbie Martin, 61, is the 'unsung heroine' behind the scenes of Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy, reported Daily Mirror.

Husband Ronald, who has been by Martin's hospital bed since she collapsed at home on Wednesday, said, "She had a seizure and we took her into the hospital. They have turned off the life�-support and her family is all here holding her hand. This is the love of my life."

"She's in a coma. It's breast cancer but I think it spread everywhere," said Martin's brother-in-law Rick.
