Sir Sam Neill’s agent confirms actor’s cause of death

Isla Cooper2026-07-16T03:37:23.000Z

Man, this is so sad. Sam Neill was a legend. Pneumonia at 78 though... bloody hell.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-16T03:50:23.000Z

Wait, they said it was unexpected but he was 78 with pneumonia? How is that unexpected?

Cameron Diaz2026-07-16T04:24:23.000Z

nah get stuffed, it's called being realistic. 78 with pneumonia is not statistically 'unexpected'.

And yet the government cuts funding to public health. Great timing guys.

Isla Cooper2026-07-16T04:28:23.000Z

here we go, someone always making it about politics. let the man rest.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-16T04:13:23.000Z

It's relevant. Our health system is a joke rn. Keep your head in the sand.

Luca Reid2026-07-16T05:04:23.000Z

Bloody shame. He seemed like such a good bloke. Thoughts with his whānau.

Hana Stewart2026-07-16T05:31:23.000Z

FFS another legend gone. Pneumonia is no joke, especially at that age. Take care of your health people.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T05:48:23.000Z

Is anyone else sceptical about how sudden this was? He was just in the news a few months ago doing interviews.

Sage Lawson2026-07-16T06:37:23.000Z

oh ffs can't people just grieve without the conspiracy theories

Ruby Fraser2026-07-16T06:18:23.000Z

He'll always be Dr Alan Grant to me. Gutted. RIP sir.

Morgan Lee2026-07-16T06:24:23.000Z

Nah but seriously, pneumonia is a killer. My nana went the same way. Shit way to go.

Hana Stewart2026-07-16T06:30:23.000Z
