While we're still only in the first portion of 2026, the year has already seen some devastating deaths within Hollywood. Between Catherine O’Hara's passing, Eric Dane death due to ALS, James Van Der Beek's death due to cancer, fans have said goodbye to a number of stars. When it comes to Dane and Van Der Beek's passings, GoFundMe campaigns were subsequently established in the hopes of helping their families financially. Now, a Blue Bloods alum is the latest actor to get one following his death at 42.
Comedian Alex Duong, who appeared on three episodes of the CBS procedural as Sonny Le, “passed away peacefully” Saturday morning following a battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer affecting soft tissue, according to People. A GoFundMe was started by a friend, Hilarie Steele, initially to help him get the right diagnosis and care.
