Isaiah Washington just confirmed the devastating loss his family has been quietly carrying for more than a year.<\/p>\n

The former Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> star revealed on Saturday, Oct. 3, that his wife, Jenisa Washington, died in June 2025 after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes \u2026 the rumors are true. My dear wife of 29 years collapsed suddenly on May 31, 2025, and passed away on June 9, 2025,\u201d Washington wrote on Instagram alongside a black-and-white photo of his late wife. \u201cIt came as a huge shock to me and our entire family. She succumbed to a massive hemorrhagic stroke and never recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington, 63, who portrayed Dr. Preston Burke on Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, also used his heartbreaking announcement to urge others not to brush off potentially concerning symptoms. \u201cListen, y\u2019all \u2026 some headaches are not just headaches or migraines, they can be much worse and a warning sign,\u201d he wrote. \u201cGet a brain scan if you can and take those headaches seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
