Veteran actor Sam Neill cause of death revealed to be pneumonia his agent confirmed.
Neill had been fighting angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, since 2022. While his grueling treatments—which included chemotherapy and immunotherapy—ultimately left him in remission and cancer-free, they took a toll on his immune system. This left him highly vulnerable to the sudden bout of pneumonia that led to his unexpected death.
The acclaimed New Zealand actor died suddenly on July 13 in Sydney at age 78.
