At 46 years old, Paul Danan has sadly passed away.The news of the former Hollyoaks and Love Island star's death was confirmed by his management in a heartbreaking statement.They expressed their sorrow: "It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of @pauldanan at just 46 years old," they said. "Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many.
His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him." Calling for respect during this tough time, they requested: "During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paul's family, friends, and colleagues.
No further comments will be made at this time", reports the Mirror. It comes just months after he lost consciousness at home and was rushed to hospital and given CPR after he suffered respiratory failure, brought on by his addiction to vapes.
His diagnosis at the time, as he was treated in ICU for pneumonis, was so bad that his family had been warned that "he might not make it".The star, who shot to fame straight out of drama school when he joined Hollyoaks, is believed to have smoked cigarettes for years before moving to disposable vapes which he previously admitted he would even 'go to sleep with' for comfort.
