Sam Neill Passes at 73 After Battle with Cancer | Washington DC News

Sam Neill, the beloved Jurassic Park star, passed away in Sydney from pneumonia after a courageous battle with lymphoma — a disease he’d beaten with groundbreaking CAR-T therapy. His agent clarified early misinformation, honoring Sam’s privacy as his family plans a quiet memorial on his New Zealand farm. Despite his illness, Sam kept working, filming four major projects back-to-back — all set to premiere soon. Known for his grounded nature and even his own winery in New Zealand, he remained humble. Spielberg called him a cherished collaborator, and fans everywhere mourn the loss of a legend who leaves behind four children and eight grandchildren.
