Compaoré died from complications of coronavirus (COVID-19) on 18 March 2020 at Centre hospitalier universitaire de Tengandogo in Ouagadougou at the age of 62.[1] Her death was soon confirmed by the Union for Progress and Reform party leadership.[3] She had suffered from other pre-existing conditions, including diabetes.[6]
