Cormac Roth, the son of actor Tim Roth (61, “Pulp Fiction”, “The Planet of the Apes”), died of cancer at the age of 25. They lost their “beautiful boy” after a “valiant battle with cancer,” the family said on Monday (local time). According to the announcement made by the German Press Agency, Cormac died on October 16th. The young musician was “extraordinarily talented” and full of “wild and contagious” energy. He had attended college in the US state of Vermont.
Cormac was from the actor’s 1993 marriage to fashion designer Nikki Butler. The couple have another son together.
Cormac announced the diagnosis on Instagram in June. The rare type of cancer was found in November 2021. Since then he has lost half his hearing and a lot of weight, the musician wrote. He fights against it with all conceivable treatments, including chemotherapy, surgery and transfusions. “Life is short,” he turned to his followers. “Do all the things you love.”
