Décès à 78 ans de Sam Neill, la star de "Jurassic Park"
Actor Sam Neill, famous for playing paleontologist Alan Grant in the cult film "Jurassic Park", died Monday in Australia at the age of 78, according to a statement from his family who described his death as "sudden and unexpected".
"Sam was surrounded by his family and passed away with the dignity that characterized his entire life," the statement said.
The New Zealander had revealed in his memoirs published in 2023 that he was "maybe dying" from stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Mr. Neill told Australian Channel Seven News last April that he had been living with blood cancer for about five years, but that his chemotherapy had eventually stopped working.
He subsequently indicated that his cancer had gone into remission thanks to gene therapy that modified his immune system.
The family's statement announcing his death mentions that Sam Neill "was still in remission".
His entourage said he was being treated at St Vincent's private hospital in Sydney at the time of the incident.
His long film career began in the 1970s, extending to more recent roles such as in the hit series "Peaky Blinders" or the latest installment of "Jurassic Park", titled "Jurassic World: Dominion", released in 2022.
Off-screen, Sam Neill ran vineyards in the picturesque Central Otago region of New Zealand's South Island.
