" Sam passed away from pneumonia," Grenz said. “Prior to becoming sick, Sam had valiantly fought and beaten lymphoma through a new treatment called CAR-T therapy.” He added that Neill had filmed four projects “back-to-back” during the past year that are due to be released in the coming months. “As Sam was an intensely private man who loathed a fuss, his family will honor him with a private family memorial at his farm in New Zealand at a still-undetermined later date,” Grenz said. Neill started acting in New Zealand films in the early 1970s before moving into larger roles in Australia.
Furthermore, CAR-T therapy is a form of immunotherapy based on an individual's T cells and is used for several types of blood cancer. In New Zealand, he has been mourned as a friendly, unassuming person who shunned celebrity and contributed to causes and community projects near his home, according to local news outlets.
