Paul Grant, who has held roles in two of the biggest movie franchises in existence, has died at the age of 56.
According to Sky News, Grant was found collapsed at King’s Cross station in London last Thursday.
The outlet noted that Grant was declared brain dead following the collapse.
The actor was pronounced dead early Monday morning after his family ultimately opted to remove him from life support, following the brain-dead diagnosis.
A London Ambulance Service representative told Sky News that they had dispatched a unit on Thursday after receiving “reports of an incident.”
“We sent an ambulance crew and a medic in a response car. We treated a man at the scene and took him to hospital as a priority,” the representative said.
The actor is survived by his girlfriend, two daughters, one son, as well as stepchildren and grandchildren.
One of the daughters, Sophie Jayne Grant, gave a pained statement to Sky News:
“I’m heartbroken… No girl deserves their dad to be taken away… He was so well known and loved . He’s gone too soon.”
Grant has held roles in cult classics like 1988’s “Willow” and 1986’s “Labyrinth,” but most fans are likely familiar with his work from two gigantic movie franchises — Harry Potter
