Sam Neill's Family Corrects Media Reports on Cause of Death

Sam Neill, 78, died of pneumonia in Sydney. His family called the death "sudden and unexpected." Agent Philip Grenz dismissed media coverage as "inaccurate and outright falsehoods," confirming Neill was cancer-free when he died. This follows his April announcement of remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A private memorial is planned at his New Zealand farm.
