The late Sean Connery, beloved actor and iconic James Bond star, faced immense challenges in his final years due to his battle with dementia.
Micheline Roquebrune, Connery's widow, has been candid about the hardships they endured as a result of this debilitating condition.
In a heartfelt gesture earlier this year, Roquebrune generously donated $1 million to a global dementia charity established by Connery's dear friend, Sir Jackie Stewart.
She expressed her family's privilege in supporting crucial research efforts, having witnessed the devastating impact of dementia on Sean.
Tragically, Connery passed away peacefully in October 2020 while Micheline was by his side in the Bahamas.
The official death certificate obtained by TMZ revealed that he succumbed to respiratory failure caused by pneumonia, old age, and an irregular heartbeat.
However, those closest to him knew that his battle with dementia had also taken a toll on his well-being during the two years preceding his passing.
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, Roquebrune shared the harrowing reality they faced: “It was no life for him.”
The weight of dementia bore heavily on Connery, gradually eroding his quality of life.
Fortunately, he was granted his final wish to depart peacefully, without any commotion or distress.
