Cohen had written: ‘We as human beings need to find a way to love and help all people in need.
‘The divide must stop. Innocent lives should not be part of status quo war casualties, or politics, all people deserve the right to live In Peace.’

Trachtenberg’s cause of death was classified as ‘natural,’ medical examiners said in their latest report.
Trachtenberg’s relatives had past cited religion as a reason why they did not want the results of her autopsy made public.
Authorities with the New York Police Department told Dailymail.com in February that they were summoned to a Manhattan apartment in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, where Trachtenberg was ‘unconscious and unresponsive.’
