WELLINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) – New Zealand actor Sam Neill died suddenly on Monday aged 78 after recovering from cancer, his family said in a statement on Monday.
“The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free,” a statement posted on Neill’s Instagram page said.
The Jurassic Park actor announced in April he was cancer-free after undergoing treatment for stage-three blood cancer.
