Age 32

Narkis died unexpectedly in the middle of a legal battle to protect her young son from being sent back to Italy to his father. She had been in a 4-year international child custody case. Narkis had won the Hague Convention case brought by the father. That decision was appealed to the US Supreme Court, where Narkis prevailed unanimously. Shockingly, when the case was sent back down to the Federal Court Judge, she ordered the young boy to return to Italy. Narkis was working with her lawyers on an appeal at the time of her death. The cause of death was reported as a brain bleed, although her family said it didn’t make sense to them, as she was very healthy. Narkis leaves behind a son.
