New information about Val Kilmer’s passing has come to light, and it’s even more heartbreaking than fans expected. The Hollywood legend, best known for his roles in Top Gun and Batman Forever, died on April 1 at the age of 65 — and now his death certificate has revealed the true extent of what he endured.
According to TMZ, Kilmer died from pneumonia, but that wasn’t the whole story. The document also listed multiple serious underlying conditions, including acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, chronic respiratory failure, and squamous cell carcinoma at the base of the tongue — a form of throat cancer.
