Topic: R.I.P Andy Hallet, Angel's Lorne

[Najemikon]

Andy Hallet died from Congestive Heart Failure on 29th March.  That is such a loss and all the more that so few people knew his name. He should have been able to enjoy a long career on the back of his fantastic talent showcased so well in Angel. He was born to be a showman.

From Wikipedia: "...about a month after filming the last episode of Angel, Hallett suffered a dental infection which spread through the bloodstream to his heart, leading to a case of cardiomyopathy, for which he spent five days in the hospital. Although he recovered, his heart muscle and valves were weakened and he found himself easily fatigued afterward. He did not return to acting (except for a voice part in the animated film Geppetto's Secret), but pursued his music career and frequently appeared at media conventions for Buffy and Angel and for science fiction and fantasy in general.

After a five-year battle with heart disease and at least three additional hospitalizations, Hallett died from congestive heart failure on March 29, 2009 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles."

I didn't realize who he was at first either.  He was very talented on Angel.  It's very sad.

Yeah I heard. I posted it over at Invelos. Unfortunately I haven't found a dedication video yet. Just one where he sings "I will survive" which would obviously be a bit macabre.
