Nun in property dispute with Katy Perry dies after collapsing in court
Image:Katy Perry has been embroiled in a long-running property dispute with a pair of nuns A nun who was involved in a property lawsuit with pop star Katy Perry has died after collapsing in court.
Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, 89, was challenging Perry's attempted purchase of a former Los Angeles convent.
The singer agreed to buy the eight-acre property and its Roman villa-style buildings for $14.5m (£10.4m) in 2015, but the deal failed when its former residents objected.
The Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary have owned the property for more than four decades but have not lived there for several years.
Sister Holzman was joined by Sister Rita Callanan in trying to scupper the move by selling the property to a restaurant owner for $44,000 (£31,760).

A judge ruled that the sale of the convent was invalid and Perry and the Catholic Church were awarded a total of almost $10m (£7.2m) in damages in December last year.
The sisters had failed to get the consent of Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez and the Vatican for the sale.
Sister Holzman died after collapsing during a post-judgment hearing on Friday.
Hours before her death she spoke to US news channel Fox 11 LA, decrying the ruling that cleared the way for the sale of the property to Perry.
She said: "To Katy Perry, please stop. It's not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people."
Sister Callahan added: "You have stolen the property of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart.

"Please archbishop... do what is right in your heart."
The nuns had set up the website Stand with the Sisters to represent their cause.
A picture of Sister Holzman is now featured on the site, beneath the message: "Rest with the angels our most precious treasure".
Soy Sauce Noodles With Cabbage and Fried Eggs Time: 30 minutes Soy sauce noodles, a traditional Cantonese dish frequently eaten for breakfast or lunch at dim sum, are hearty enough to be served for dinner as well. Contrary to the traditional dish, which includes bean sprouts and frequently garlic chives, this recipe calls for cabbage because it has a nice textural crunch and plenty of scallions since they pack a strong flavor. Regular and dark soy sauce, or lăochu in Cantonese, are simply mixed together to make the soy sauce seasoning. It imparts the noodles' very rich color. Tamari also works nicely if black soy sauce is not an option. Although thin egg noodles are typically used in this recipe, any dry wheat noodles would work in a pinch. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings FOR THE NOODLES Kosher salt 7 ounces dried (or 16 ounces fresh) thin egg noodles Neutral oil, such as vegetable or grapeseed 4 large eggs ½ small green cabbage (1½ pounds), core removed then thinly sliced 1 ...

While the Red Devils are still locked in talks with Leicester over £80million rated Harry Maguire, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to have turned his attention to an alternative. Manchester United have had a bid for Benfica defender Ruben Dias rejected according to reports No fee was reported but according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo , it fell short of the defender's £60m release clause. And having already raked in around £180m in transfer fees this summer, the Portuguese champions do not need to sell.
