The cause of death of actor Archie Lyndhurst was revealed by his family.
The “So Awkward” star, who died at the age of 19 in September, suffered a brain hemorrhage. Her mother, Lucy Lyndhurst, revealed the details that a doctor shared with her and the father of the deceased star in a long Instagram post on Friday.
“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,” Lucy shared.
The bereaved mother said the doctor “assured us that there was nothing anyone could have done, since Archie showed no signs of illness”. The doctor informed the parents that the actor had “numerous bleeds in the brain”.
