Suzanne Crough, ‘The Partridge Family’ Star, Died From Rare Heart Condition

Suzanne Crough, who played Tracy Partridge in The Partridge Family, died back in April at age 52 from a rare heart ailment.

Suzanne Crough Heart Condition

Crough’s cause of death was determined to be arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a rare form of cardiomyopathy, the Clark County, Nev., coroner told TheWrap. The heart ailment causes the fat and/or fibrous tissues to replace the heart muscle of the right ventricle. The condition causes the heart to struggle to pump blood to other parts of the sufferer’s body, which can lead to cardiac arrest and death.

The coroner listed Crough’s death as natural.

Crough died at her home in Laughlin, Nev., on April 27.

After getting her start in the entertainment industry in a Barbie commercial in the late 60s, Crough landed the part of tambourine-playing Tracy Partridge in The Partridge Family, which premiered in 1970. In the popular family program, Crough starred alongside David Cassidy, Danny Bonaduce, Brian Forster, Susan Dey and Shirley Jones.

Throughout the 70s, Crough continued her career on TV in Mulligan’s Stew and appeared in the Academy Award-winning short film Teenage Father. Following an appearance in TV movie Children of Divorce in 1980, Crough walked away from show-business.

Crough is survived by her husband William Condray, daughters Samantha and Alexandra and a granddaughter.
