Eric Dane, best known for starring in Grey's Anatomy, has died 10 months after confirming he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The actor spent his final months raising funds and awareness for the rare, incurable condition - the most common form of motor-neurone disease (MND), which causes a progressive paralysis of the muscles.
"I'm trying to save my life," Dane told Time magazine in remarks published less than a fortnight ago, as the on-screen surgeon turned real-life campaigner was named one of its most 100 influential people in health.
"If my actions can move the needle forward for myself and countless others, I'm satisfied."
The 53-year-old shared in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with the debilitating and painful condition.
