Alex Duong, a stand-up comedian and actor best known for playing gang leader Sonny Le on the CBS drama Blue Bloods, has d!ed. He was 42
Duong’s passing was announced by his friend, Hilarie Steele, who shared an update on a GoFundMe page set up for the actor and his family. Duong had been battling alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer known as soft tissue sarcoma, which affected his eyesight.
Steele shared on Friday (March 27) that Duong had gone into “septic shock” and his situation was “critical.” The next day, she revealed that Duong had “passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by love and dear friends” at the Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
“He was comfortable and thankfully out of pain. [His wife] Christina and [daughter] Everest were able to see him last night, and he was alert enough to say goodbye to his little girl, whom he has treasured every moment since the day she was born,” Steele continued.
She added, “We are devastated, but so grateful for the support, prayers, and generosity you have all shown during this unimaginable time. Your continued support now means everything as Christina and Everest navigate the days ahead and to arrange a beautiful celebration of his life.”
