Gaspard Ulliel Tragically Dies At 37 Following Fatal Ski Accident [REPORT]
Gaspard Ulliel, a French actor who had been tapped to be part of new Marvel series, has died. He was 37.
The AFP News Agency's official Twitter account first revealed the tragic news about Ulliel's death, saying that the actor died after a ski accident. His family confirmed his passing to the same news outlet.
Another source detailed that the incident occurred in the Alps on Tuesday. Ulliel reportedly collided with another skier on the slopes, causing him to suffer a devastating injury after blowing his skull. A helicopter transport reportedly responded to the scene and transferred him to a hospital in Grenoble.
Unfortunately, the actor did not make it.
It was not the first time a person got killed in an accident in a region, though. On Saturday, a 5-year-old girl died after a skier crashed into her in the Haute-Savoie region, as reported by Deadline.
Local authorities have since launched an investigation to look into what happened before and after the accident.
Following the news, several Twitter users assumed that the Marvel star became part of the "curse of the three" where three celebrities die within a short span of time. For Ulliel's part, he reportedly died after a fashion icon and a magazine editor succumbed.
The same curse reportedly happened to Bob Saget, Betty White, and Sidney Portier.
Ulliel's family has not released further details about his funeral. But fans took the time to remember his legacy following his untimely death.
