Molly Glynn, a veteran actress most recently seen as a doctor on NBC’s Chicago Fire, was killed on Saturday after being struck by a falling tree during a bike ride with her husband. The 46-year old was out in Chicago’s Erickson Woods when she got caught in a downpour around 3 p.m. Joe Foust – who was riding ahead of his wife at the time – heard Glynn yell that the couple should take cover, just seconds before a tree was uprooted and crashed into the actress and her bike. Glynn (who had been wearing a helmet) was taken to Evanston Hospital on Saturday and passed away there from her injuries. Glynn portrayed an ER physician on Chicago Fire and had also appeared in episodes of Boss and Early Edition. Foust shared the above photo of himself and Glynn on Facebook after the latter’s tragic death, writing online: “I couldn’t save her. I couldn’t save her. She’s gone.” Michael Halberstam, the artistic director at Chicago’s Writers Theatre, told CBS of Glynn: “Molly was a marvelous actress and a completely warm hearted and generous human being. She had grace, sophistication and a sparkling, sexy, sassy stage presence. She could transform from a princess to a flower girl in the twinkling of an eye. She was a loving mother and wife and everyone who met her fell in love with her.” 23 Shocking Celebrity Deaths 1. Robin Williams Robin Williams has tragically died.
