Nick Cordero, a Broadway and television actor who spent months in intensive care after suffering complications from the coronavirus, died at the age of 41.
“My heart is broken because I can’t imagine our lives without him,” wrote his wife Amanda Kloots on Instagram.
Cordero was nominated for a Tony for his role in Bullets Over Broadway and appeared in Waitress and A Bronx Tale.
While in the hospital, he suffered sepsis infections and mini strokes and had his right leg amputated.
In May, his wife revealed that he had woken up from a medically induced coma, but that he remained “extremely weak.”
In a post confirming his death, Kloots said, “God has another angel in heaven now. My dear husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded by love for his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”
Kloots remembered her husband as “a bright light” who was “was friends with everyone.”
She paid tribute to her “extraordinary” doctor and thanked everyone for “the stream of love, support and help we have received.”
While Cordero was in the hospital, Kloots regularly sent him videos of her and her one-year-old son, Elvis, and encouraged fans to participate in a daily singing.
A fundraising page to help pay for medical expenses raised over $ 600,000 (£ 480,000).
