British teen actor Archie LyndhurstKhan’s mother revealed the cause of her sudden death and shared a beautiful but painful tribute to her late son.
The star, best known for her role in the comedy series CBBC So weird, died at age 19 on September 22, 2020 – just a month before his birthday. He is the only son of Lucy Lyndhurst and husband and Only fools and horses actor Nicolas Lyndhurst. On Friday, January 15, Lucy shared photos of the couple with Archie on Instagram and revealed that he died of brain hemorrhage caused by rare cancer.
“Four days before Christmas, Nick and I sat on Harley Street with the results of Archie’s second autopsy,” she wrote. “A very detailed document, which we had been advised by the coroner, would be a distressing reading and best explained by a doctor. The doctor explained that Archie died of natural causes (something we already knew, just gossip, keyboard warriors, trolls and the ignorant thought differently). “
She continued: “He died of an intracerebral hemorrhage caused by lymphoma / acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This is not leukemia as we know it, the word acute in medical terms means fast. He assured us that there was nothing that anyone could have done Archie no showed signs of illness. Archie had several bleeds in his brain and Dr. did everything he could to ensure that he wouldn’t have felt any pain as he did in his sleep. “
