LONDON: "Jurassic Park" actor Sam Neill died on Monday aged 78, his family said in a statement, reported PA Media/dpa.
In the statement, shared via his Instagram account, the family said that he died in Sydney.
“Sam was surrounded by family and passed away with the dignity that characterised his entire life.
“The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.
“They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care.
“More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”
Neill was diagnosed with stage three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2022, which caused him to take a short break from acting, and had announced he was cancer-free earlier this year.
