India, April 11 -- A ctor and writer Michael Patrick, known for his appearance in the show Game of Thrones, died on Tuesday at the age of 35 after a prolonged battle with motor neurone disease (MND). The Irish actor died while in hospice care at the Northern Ireland Hospice, his wife Naomi Sheehan confirmed in an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday. "Last night, Mick sadly passed away in the Northern Ireland Hospice," Sheehan wrote, adding, "He was admitted 10 days ago and was cared for by the incredible team there. He passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends. Words can't describe how broken-hearted we are." Michael had been diagnosed with MND, a progressive condition that affects nerve cells controlling essential functions such as movement, speech, swallowing and breathing, in 2023. Earlier this year, in what turned out to be his final social media post, Patrick had opened up about his prognosis in a social media post, revealing that his neurologist had given him roughly a year to live. Despite the diagnosis, he remained hopeful, writing that there was "still lots to live for and lots planned". In 2025, at the Dublin Theatre Festival, he had performed My Right Foot, a deeply personal 70-minute solo show about living with motor neuron disease. HTC...
