25 Oct - A week after Robbie Coltrane's passing, the cause of death was finally revealed to the public. Multiple UK news agencies revealed that the 72-year-old "Harry Potter" actor had died of multiple organ failure, and that he had been suffering from sepsis, lower respiratory tract infection and heart block. Coltrane was also diagnosed with obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
In a previous statement to the media, Daniel Radcliffe, who played the titular character to Coltrane's Rubeus Hagrid, expressed his sadness over the loss.
"Robbie was one of the funniest people I've met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. I've especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid's hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he's passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man," he expressed.
