Cormac Roth, a musician and the son of actor Tim Roth, has tragically died aged just twenty-five…
Cormac’s death was announced by his family in a statement.
“He was a wild and electric ball of energy and his spirit was filled with light and goodness,” they wrote.
“As wild as he was, Cormac was also the embodiment of kindness.
“A gentle soul who brought so much happiness and hope to those around him,” it continued.
“The grief comes in waves, as do the tears and laughter, when we think of that beautiful boy across the 25 years and 10 months that we knew him.
“An irrepressible and joyful and wild and wonderful child,” it said.
“Only recently a man. We love him.
“We will carry him with us wherever we go,” the statement finished.
Cormac released his debut album Python in 2018.
He also worked on Michel Franco’s 2020 movie New Order.
Cormac is survived by his mom, Nikki Roth, and his brother, Hunter Roth.
Alongside his actor father, Tim Roth.
Tim is best known for starring in some iconic movies including Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and The Hateful Eight, and was Oscar-nominated for the 1995 film Rob Roy.
He has also recently appeared on the Marvel Studios and Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Hulk.
Cormac and the Roth family received a heartbreaking diagnosis back in 2021.
In November, it was confirmed that Cormas had been diagnosed with stage 3 germ cell cancer.
Cormac announced his diagnosis of this rare type of cancer on Instagram in July, writing at the time:
“I’ve been fighting it daily, throwing everything I can at it.”
“Chemo, high dose chemo, medication, transplants, transfusions, surgeries etc.
“It is called Choriocarcinoma, it is rare, and it has managed to stay many steps ahead of me no matter what I throw at it,” Cormac continued.
“It has taken away half of my hearing, 60 pounds of weight, my confidence.
“And will continue its murderous path until I can manage to stop it somehow, and kill it,” he wrote.
“It hasn’t taken away my will to survive, or my love of making music.
“It hasn’t taken me down yet,” Cormac added.
Following the announcement of his passing, tributes soon came rolling in from all corners of the internet.
“Wishing love and light to the family,” wrote one person.
“Kid was just getting started. Prayers for Tim and the rest of the Roth family,” added another.
“I can’t even imagine what type of heartbreak that would be. Losing a son who was that young AND battling cancer? My condolences to Mr. Roth and his family. May your son Rest In Peace,” a third penned.
“There are times when words are simply not enough. This is one of those times. This is heartbreaking news. I will be thinking of Cormac and his family tonight and remembering them in my prayers. Fly with the angels Cormac. God Bless,” another wrote.
“Gutted for Tim, no parent should ever have to go through this!” commented one user.
And now, fans have uncovered a heartbreaking final message from Cormac.
It came in a video posted to Instagram Stories where Cormac thanked people for their support…
“All of you are so talented, and it blows me away what I see every day when I scroll through, it really does.
“What you guys make is incredible and just sink your teeth in and remember that life is short,” he said.
“You don’t always get to choose your destiny and you don’t always get to choose your future…
“But be an undeniable force that lives and breathes the thing you claim that you love and that you are,” Cormac continued.
“And really do it, if it makes you happy, really do it.
“That’s all I got, and I love you,” he concluded.
Cormac died on October 16 after a battle with stage three germ cell cancer.
Rest in peace, Cormac Roth.
