Zach Braff and Sarah Michelle Gellar have issued warnings about the seriousness of coronavirus following the death of their friend Nick Cordero as a result of severe medical complications after he contracted the illness.
The Broadway star, who appeared in shows such as Waitress, A Bronx Tale and Bullets Over Broadway, was 41 and had spent more than three months in hospital.
His wife Amanda Kloots, with whom he shared a one-year-old son Elvis, wrote on Instagram: “God has another angel in heaven now.
My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth. ⠀“I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere.
