One of my favorite actors. I'm devastated, Bill Paxton gone, I can't believe it. :tears:

Anyone remember Frailty? One of our favorites, it was a really different part for him, but he could do just about anything and make it real. RIP Bill. :cry: :rose:

Frailty is one of my favorite movies. He was amazing in this movie.

What type of surgery did he have in 2016?

“I loved watching Stranger Things with Lydia,” said Paxton, who had also binge-watched the entire series of Downton Abbey after a surgery last spring. “I got so engrossed in it,” he says of the period drama. “I was devastated when I got to the end.”

I liked Paxton in a umber of movies but my favorite is probably A Simple Plan.

Have been wondering that myself.

No reason for Bill Paxtons premature death, if he had not been mislead on the risks of the surgery. Inexcusable, and murder, IMO. The surgeon should be in prison. IMO
It’s a shame so many doctors think they are, and are treated as though they are gods, and so many get away with it. Paxton was one of my favorite actors. He was real. What a tragic loss.

Even though this was two years ago……

Family of Bill Paxton settles wrongful death lawsuit with Los Angeles hospital

US actor, who starred in Apollo 13, died in 2017 from stroke 11 days after undergoing heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai

www.theguardian.com

“Bill Paxton’s family has struck an agreement to settle its wrongful death lawsuit against a hospital and surgeon who operated on the late actor’s heart shortly before his 2017 death, a court filing showed Friday.

Notice of the settlement came as a 19 September trial date for Paxton’s family’s lawsuit loomed. Assuming the judge presiding over the case ultimately approves it, the agreement would all but wrap up the claims that Paxton’s wife, Louise, and their children, James and Lydia, leveled against Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai medical center and surgeon Ali Khoynezad.”

The settlement’s terms were not disclosed. But in a statement to the Associated Press, Paxton family attorneys Bruce Broillet and Steve Heimberg said: “This matter has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties.”

Hospital officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Paxton died on 25 February 2017 from a stroke that occurred 11 days after he underwent surgery to replace a heart valve and repair damage to his aorta. His wife and their children sued a year later, accusing Khoynezad of performing a risky, unconventional, unnecessary surgery on Paxton at Cedars-Sinai that he was too inexperienced to pull off.
