## Resource

Sam Neill, the beloved actor known for Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders, has passed away at 78 in Sydney, surrounded by family. His death was sudden and unexpected, though he had been cancer-free since successfully completing a clinical trial in April 2024. Diagnosed with rare lymphoma in March 2022, Neill faced his illness with grace and humor — traits mirrored in his iconic performances. Prime Minister Albanese hailed him as a cherished figure in Australian hearts, deeply missed and forever remembered.
