Ray Stevenson Cause of Death Twitter: Fans Mourn the Loss of the Star Wars Actor

Ray Stevenson, the Irish actor who starred in films like “Punisher: War Zone,” “King Arthur,” the “Thor” films, and was preparing to launch the upcoming “Ahsoka” series, died suddenly on Sunday while in Italy. No cause of death was revealed, but he was reportedly hospitalized while on set filming Cassino in Ischia on the Italian island of Ischia. He was 58 years old, and died just four days before his 59th birthday. His death shocked and saddened his fans, co-stars, and colleagues, who took to Twitter to express their grief and pay tribute to his legacy.

A Versatile and Talented Actor

Stevenson was born in Northern Ireland, but grew up in England. He was inspired by John Malkovich to pursue acting, and started his career in British TV shows like Waking the Dead, Dalziel and Pascoe, and At Home with the Braithwaites. He made his breakthrough with King Arthur in 2004, which starred Keira Knightley. He then went on to play Frank Castle/The Punisher in 2008’s Punisher: War Zone, a role that he said he enjoyed because it allowed him to explore the dark side of humanity.

He also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Volstagg, one of the Warriors Three in the Thor films. He played Titus Pullo in the HBO historical series Rome, which earned him critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. He also voiced Darth Maul in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Gar Saxon in Star Wars Rebels. He was set to reprise his role as Gar Saxon, a former Jedi turned to the dark side who allies with Grand Admiral Thrawn, in Disney+’s Ahsoka, a spin-off series starring Rosario Dawson as the fan-favorite character.

He also worked on several other projects that were unreleased before his death, such as 1242: Gateway to the West, a historical drama about the Mongol invasion of Europe, and Cassino in Ischia, a comedy about an action star who tries to revive his career by making a neo-realist film in Italy.

A Gentle and Generous Soul

Stevenson was not only a talented actor, but also a gentle and generous soul, according to those who knew him personally and professionally. Rosario Dawson, who played Ahsoka Tano opposite Stevenson’s Gar Saxon in Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka, posted a heartfelt message on Twitter, remembering him as a “beautiful human being” who was “heavy-handed” with his hugs and jokes.

She wrote: “I’m so heartbroken to hear of Ray Stevenson’s passing. He was such a beautiful human being. Gentle. Heavy-handed with his hugs & jokes. I loved working with him on #StarWarsRebels & #Ahsoka. He brought so much joy & light to Gar Saxon & Baylan Skroll. May he rest in power & peace.”

Other celebrities who worked with Stevenson also shared their condolences and memories on Twitter, such as Deborah Ann Woll, who played Karen Page in Punisher: War Zone; Tom Hiddleston, who played Loki in the Thor films; Kevin McKidd, who played Lucius Vorenus in Rome; and Sam Witwer, who voiced Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

His fans also expressed their sorrow and admiration for Stevenson on Twitter, using hashtags like #RIPRayStevenson and #ThankYouRayStevenson. Many of them praised his versatility and charisma as an actor, and thanked him for bringing their favorite characters to life. Some of them also shared their favorite scenes and quotes from his films and shows.

A Mystery Remains

While Stevenson’s death has been confirmed by his PR company Viewpoin, no official statement has been released by his family or his representatives regarding the cause of death or the funeral arrangements. His death remains a mystery for now, as there are no clear indications of what could have caused it.

Some speculate that he might have suffered from a heart attack or a stroke, which could explain why he was hospitalized before his death. Others wonder if he had any underlying health conditions or complications that were unknown to the public. Some even suggest that he might have been a victim of vaccine-induced sudden death syndrome (SADS), a controversial theory that claims that some people die suddenly after receiving COVID-19 vaccines.

However, none of these theories have been verified or supported by any evidence or official sources. Therefore, they should be taken with a grain of salt until more information is revealed by those who are authorized to do so.

Until then, Stevenson’s fans can only mourn his loss and celebrate his life through his work and legacy. He will be remembered as a versatile and talented actor, a gentle and generous soul, and a star who shone brightly in the galaxy far, far away.
