“Jurassic Park” star Sam Neill died of pneumonia, his agent confirmed on Thursday.

The BBC reported that Philip Grenz, Neill’s longtime agent, decided to reveal the cause after speaking to the actor’s family in order to correct “inaccurate and outright falsehoods” in the media. Neill, who died on Monday in Sydney, Australia at the age of 78, had been battling a form of blood cancer since 2022, but revealed in April that he was cancer free. In their announcement, Neill’s family said his death was “sudden and unexpected.”
