All the comments seem unsure if this is a hoax or not, but:

With a similar post on what appears to her Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CKU_x3dp9MZ/?igshid=j62uk0cus4ug

The quote feels a little, well, scripted. But these are on what seem to be her feeds, and her site seems to have suddenly disappeared, whatever that means.

I guess we'll know more soon. :(

It’s not unheard of for people to have instructions to post a final prepared message to their website posthumously. I remember Robert Anton Wilson had one, years ago.

The thing itself is tragic enough, the idea of Peter Jurasik being the one to deliver the news to everyone is for some reason extra tragic to me.

It seems that Mira had been hospitalised for some time. Nobody had said anything because there was some small hope that she'd rally, but sadly it didn't happen. I'm guessing that it was cancer.

And now Peter Jurasik is the only surviving principal cast member of both the pilot and the series.

drat. Some exec is going to greenlight a bluray remaster of the whole series 'and can we get the old cast in to do a commentary on the best episodes?' and a minion is going to have to level with them.

It's a bit unbelievable that Mira Furlan, who died at 65, had the longest life of the many deceased cast members. The curse is strong.

That makes the fact that he was the one to break the news to JMS even worse, goddamn.

Terrible news.

There were a lot of scenes in Season 1 where she carried this subtle sense of menace. Like there was this one interaction she had with Dr. Franklin. I don't remember exactly.

When Teller tells the joke to Delenn when they meet for the dinner
The initial puzzlement, then laughing, then grabbing them pulling them to the table as if they were best friends.

Always blew my mind of the concept of what aliens would consider humor. This was an excellent way to show it.
