The movies have indicated that this was the result of an illness, but any specific details about her passing have otherwise been left out.

Liza Lapira portrays Melody Bayani in the Equalizer cast, Robyn's bartender/ex-sniper friend. She has since become one of the three main members of the vigilante team, working alongside Robyn and Harry to help those in need.
