Life on the other side of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leanne Goggins, born Leanne Knight in 1967 in New Brunswick, Canada, lived a life shaped by passion and resilience. She battled early health complications, including jaundice, but went on to earn a degree and pursue her love for animals. Leanne founded Canyon Dog Walking, one of Hollywood Hills\u2019 most successful pet care businesses.<\/p>\n<p>She met Goggins in 2000 during the filming of Shanghai Noon. The couple married a year later and settled in Los Angeles. However, Leanne\u2019s struggle with depression and the pressures of relocating from Canada led to strain in the marriage. In November 2004, Leanne died after falling from a 17th-floor building in Los Angeles.
