TMZ reported:
Eric Dane has died at the age of 53 after a battle with ALS, TMZ has learned.
He died Thursday afternoon in a Los Angeles hospital with his wife, his daughters and friends and relatives at his bedside.
The ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star announced in April 2025 that he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS.
He explained that it had been an exhausting road just to get accurate answers. He bounced from one specialist to another, test after test… until a neurologist finally dropped the bomb: ALS.
Over the months, he chronicled his battle with the progressive neurodegenerative disease, revealing how he was left with only one functioning arm and no physical strength.
