Sir Patrick Stewart’s Final Social Media Post Was Shared Just 2 Weeks Ago
Sir Patrick Stewart tragically passed away at the age of 86.
Fans all over the globe are mourning the loss of the legendary actor, who was known for his work in X-Men, Star Trek, and countless other projects.
Sir Patrick Stewart Passed Away After Battling Alzheimer’s Disease & Lewy Body Dementia
In a statement announced on his social media, it was confirmed: “We announce with great sorrow the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart yesterday at his home in Los Angeles, in the loving care of his beloved wife Sunny, following a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.”
If you’re wondering, Lewy Body and Alzheimer’s are two distinct syndromes.
“Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are two distinct conditions, though they both cause progressive problems with thinking and memory,” the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center once shared. The main differences? “Alzheimer’s typically announces itself with memory problems,” while Lewy body dementia might impairs real-time executive functions like focus, organization, and problem-solving.
