Sam Neill, Jurassic Park Actor, Dead at 78 | E! News
Jurassic Park’s Sam Neill, who previously battled a rare form of blood cancer, died July 13 at age 78. “Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterized his whole life,” a statement posted to Neill’s Instagram read. “The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.” The New Zealand actor, who was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, stage 3 blood cancer, in 2022, announced he was cancer free earlier this year. Neill, according to The Guardian, is survived by his four kids and eight grandchildren. “They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care,” the social media statement continued. “More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”

Good Bye Dr. Alan Grant. Good Bye Sam. So many of us followed you and loved the characters you portrayed and the man that you yourself were. We will deeply miss you here on earth. Thank you for all that you have given us.

Dr. Alan Grant: “It’s, it’s a dinosaur.” “Ian Freeze!” “Get rid of the flare!” “Mr. Hammond after consideration not to endorse your park.” “I believe you won’t get off this island alive.” “Billy stop! Don’t Billy!” “I don’t know maybe new nesting grounds. It’s a whole new world for them.”
