Andre Braugher’s Real Cause of Death Revealed
Hollywood is mourning the demise of late Andre Braugher, who was previously revealed to have been suffering from a brief illness. However, longtime publicist, Jennifer Allen, has recently confirmed to various media outlets including the New York Times that his death was not unexpected, citing, “lung cancer” as the reason after being diagnosed with the disease several months ago.
Given that the actor liked to keep his personal life private, not many medical records about his condition were unveiled. However, back in 2014, he told the outlet that he had “stopped drinking alcohol and smoking years ago.”
The 61-year-old late actor got his Hollywood breakthrough in the 1989 film Glory starring Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. From then on, he kept on moving forward. For his work in the NBC police drama, Homicide: Life on the Street for seven seasons, he won the first two career Emmys.
Meanwhile, the cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine paid tribute to the late 61-year-old actor earlier this week. Terry Crews took to Instagram to bid his farewell to the former.
“I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you, and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts.”
Meanwhile, Dirk Blocker also shared condolences by writing on Instagram,
“Fiercely intelligent, remarkably kind, supportive, generous and possessed a deep and extraordinary talent, and had even more to offer… My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.”
This news surely came as a shock to everyone as he kept his medical condition a secret just like MCU actor, Chadwick Boseman who did the same.
