Late actor Robbie Coltrane died after multiple organ failures according to his death certificate.
The actor, most well-known for playing Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter franchise, passed away at age 72 on Friday, October 14 in a hospital in Labert, Scotland.
The document also says he’d been battling sepsis, a lower respiratory infection as well as blockages in his heart, obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.
It was reported that the beloved actor also had mobility issues in recent years, and would use a wheelchair.
Robbie appeared in all of the ‘Potter’ films, but he’d been in the acting game long before that franchise — having scored roles in scores of films, going back through the 1990s and ’80s.
The actor’s passing was announced in a statement by his agent Belinda Wright, given to the BBC. “For me personally, I shall remember him as an abidingly loyal client. As well as being a wonderful actor, he was forensically intelligent, brilliantly witty and after 40 years of being proud to be called his agent, I shall miss him,” she said.
During his life, Robbie was open about his battle with osteoarthritis. He revealed that he was regularly in pain during filming for some of his later appearances. “I was fighting pain 24 hours a day when I was in National Treasure and Great Expectations,” he said in a 2020 interview, per Express. “I had no cartilage in my knee. It was bone on bone.”
