Sam Neill’s longtime agent Philip Grenz has confirmed that the beloved New Zealand actor died of pneumonia.
Grenz disclosed the cause of death to end “inaccuracies and outright falsehoods” that were being claimed in media reports, but didn’t specify any particular report.
Neill’s death was confirmed on Monday by his family on Instagram; the 78-year-old’s passing was said to be “sudden and unexpected” and coming after his cancer had been successfully treated.
Grenz said in a new statement that:
“As Sam was an intensely private man who loathed a fuss, his family will honor him with a private family memorial at his farm in New Zealand at a still-undetermined later date.
I’d like to thank those who were truly close to Sam for considering his privacy with the respect he earned and his loved ones need and deserve during this immeasurably difficult time.”
He also confirmed that Neill had filmed four projects back-to-back during the past year, with several to be released within the coming months including “The Last Resort” and “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova”.
