He died on Tuesday April 1, 2025 in Los Angeles at the age of 65 after a prolonged battle with pneumonia, according to The New York Time.

Kilmer also played large roles in Heat, 1995, The Saint, 1997, Willow, 1988, and more recently, Top Gun, Maverick.

According to Mr Kilmer’s daughter, the actor was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 but he later recovered.
