However, he publicly announced his full recovery this April, attributing it to a genetic therapy. In an interview with Australia’s Channel Seven News, Neill stated that ‘CAR T-cell therapy,’ which reprograms T-cells to destroy cancer cells, had completely cleared his body of the disease, with scan reports showing everything was normal. This sudden demise, therefore, has deeply saddened and shocked his fans and the film world.
