Renowned actor Sam Neill died on Monday, July 13, in Sydney at the age of 78.
Neill, widely celebrated for his role in the blockbuster film Jurassic Park, had announced only months earlier that he was free of cancer.
A family statement said he passed peacefully while surrounded by relatives, noting the loss was sudden yet he remained cancer‑free.
The family expressed deep gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for the care provided.
Further details will be released later, and the family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
