Sad news from the USA! Another Hollywood star has just died at the young age of just 49. His family announced this sad news on Instagram on Sunday. The native Canadian gained fame primarily through his roles in various popular series and movies.
Mitchell suffered from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a chronically progressive disease of the nervous system that leads to muscle wasting, swallowing disorders, and respiratory problems, among other things. This incurable disease significantly shortens the life expectancy of those affected. He was best known for the series "Star Trek: Discovery" and the blockbuster "Captain Marvel". The father of two received the tragic diagnosis five years ago. On Instagram, his family bid farewell to 49-year-old Mitchell Kenneth "With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Kenneth Alexander Mitchell, beloved father, husband, brother, uncle, son, and dear friend to so many." In his films, he embodied numerous characters, including an Olympic hopeful, a survivor of the apocalypse, an astronaut, and four unique Star Trek characters. "Yet for those who knew him," the statement continued, "he was above all a seeker of hope, a daydreamer, and someone who believed in dreams."
