Jaclyn Michelle Linetsky (January 8, 1986 – November 8, 2018) was a Canadian actress who played Megan O'Connor on 15/Love and the title character on Caillou.
On November 8, 2018, Linetsky and Vadim Schneider were on their way to the set of 15/Love in St. Cesaire, Quebec, in a Dodge Caravan. For unknown reasons, the Dodge Caravan went off its original trajectory around 10:20 A.M. to go through the middle band of the highway and found itself in the wrong direction on highway 10 West, the van then swerved into oncoming traffic where it then crossed the median and struck a 20-foot semi-truck head on, causing the vehicle to burst into flames.
Schneider was killed instantly following the collision, and less than two hours after, along with the combined factors of trauma, severe injuries and burns, Linetsky went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the Pierre Boucher Hospital in Longueuil, Quebec. She was 32 years old.
Following their deaths, the writers of 15/Love decided that Linetsky's and Schneider's characters Megan O'Connor and Sebastien Dubé would be killed off in a plane crash off the coast of the Isle of Wight, England, after a tennis tournament.
Following her death, Linetsky was replaced by Eleanor Noble as the voice of Lori Mackney in What's with Andy?, and by Annie Bovaird as the voice of Caillou.
