Val Kilmer died on April 1st at the age of 65. Like his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, reported the media, he died of pneumonia. Kilmer’s career resigned sharply in 2014. And after an operation, he had difficulty speaking. Insider information has now come to light how bad the actor has actually been in the past few years.
Since the beginning of the year: increasingly frail
According to the “TMZ”, the mime was bedridden for years. His death is not said to have come completely surprisingly, so the information from family circles. Rather, his state of health has deteriorated more and more drastically, which was also considered to him and the relatives ultimately forced him to act.
Actually, he is said to have defeated the cancer for a long time, but the treatment of the aggressive illness would have requested its tribute and so he would not have made it out of bed in his final years of life.
Farewell to the hospital
The family source also claims to have reported that it ultimately had to be transported to a hospital in its very frail state at the beginning of 2025 and treated there. He is said to have been in the hospital bed until his death. But he could have said goodbye to all his relatives and friends: inside.
The documentary “Val”
In 2021, Kilmer reflected on his career and cancer diagnosis in the documentary “Val”. The documentary contained a wealth of videos that the mime had shot in the course of his life. From home videos, which he turned with his brothers, to film material, which he had collected in the production of blockbusters such as “Top Gun”, “The Doors” and “Batman Forever”. The film also provided many scenes that showed him with a ventilation hose with his everyday life.
After the message has spread to his death, more and more industry sizes are speaking up and want to have their last honor to the actor with loving postings on the net. For example, Josh Brolin used Instagram to share a photo of himself with Val Kilmer, on which the two laughing in nature can be seen. He also wrote: “Take care, buddy. I’ll miss you. You were a clever, challenging, brave, super-creative fireworks.”
