Ian Gelder, who played Kevan Lannister in Game of Thrones died due to bile duct cancer. He was diagnosed with cancer five months before. His husband and fellow actor Ben Daniels announced Ian's death on Instagram.
"It is with huge huge sadness and a heavy heart broken into a million pieces that I’m leaving this post to announce the passing of my darling husband and life partner Ian Gelder. Ian was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in December and yesterday he passed at 13.07. I’d stopped all work to be his carer but neither of us had any idea that it would all be so fast. He was my absolute rock and we’d been partners for more than 30 years," Ben wrote in a long post captioning his picture with Ian on Instagram.
