French actor Gaspard Ulliel recently passed away on January 19 at 37. News agency AFP said that he died after a ski accident.
Ulliel’s family and local agent said he was admitted to the hospital on January 18 after suffering a head injury and did not recover. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Grenoble after a collision on the slopes of Savoie.
This is not the first accident in the Savoie region. Mountain police have responded to several accidents in the area because of the hard snow and ice on the slopes. Recently a five-year-old girl was killed when a skier crashed into her.
Gaspard will next be seen in the upcoming Marvel miniseries Moon Knight as Anton Morgart/Midnight Man. He is survived by his wife Gaëlle Piétri and a son.
