Tom Long, described as a ‘sublime actor and beautiful human being,’ by fellow actor David Wenham, has died aged 51.
His death from encephalitis was formally announced on Sunday by wife Rebecca Fleming, on the Instagram account used to document Long’s treatment for myeloma, a cancer that develops from plasma cells in the bone marrow.
‘We are devastated to be losing such a loving and divinely beautiful man from our lives. He is our every day, our inspiration and our home base. He is now liberated from the shackles of a body that ceased to work. In the end, encephalitis took him away from this earthly life,’ Fleming wrote.
