July 16 (UPI) -- Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders icon Sam Neill's official cause of death is pneumonia, his agent said in a statement.
"Prior to becoming sick, Sam had valiantly fought and beaten lymphoma through a new treatment called CAR-T therapy," Philip Grenz said Thursday.
"I'd like to thank those who were truly close to Sam for considering his privacy with the respect he earned and his loved ones need and deserve during this immeasurably difficult time."
Grenz also said Neill filmed four new projects before he died Monday at the age of 78.
