https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/16/bruce...oral-dementia/

he has frontotemporal dementia.... There are currently no treatments for FTD

Sucks he was in a ton of great movies back in the day

Wasn't this revealed months ago?

my best friend of 30 years died of that stuff.... at the end he had to be fed and wore a diaper.

No, it was revealed he had a condition that affected his speech (I can't remember the name). Unfortunately, that condition is a symptom of dementia. So now we know it's only going to get worst.

This is sad... The first 3 Die Hard where amongst my favorite movies when I was a kid.

this tragic latest updates of his illness is all over Sky news this week, as with the earthquake & the girl missing in the UK...

what´s really sad about the situation is for many years there´s been no updating of medicines or help towards dementia. While with cancer & other life threatening diseases, are tested every day.

There´s actually a few drugs help the patient, giving an effect to ease the symptoms of the illness & slow the progression.

however, nothing else has been produced & no other drugs or care has been sampled or tried since this last year...

"Lecanemab – a humanized monoclonal antibody manufactured by Biogen and Eisai and administered intravenously every two weeks – targets beta amyloid, a toxic protein that accumulates to form plaques in the brain and is believed to be a significant driver of Alzheimer's"

Some anti depressants like trazodone can reduce the behavioral problems associated with frontotemporal dementia.


An amazing guy, so lovely in interviews & a fantastic actor. Sad news.
