Emilie Dequenne, the star of the BBC drama The Missing, lost her battle to cancer two years after diagnosis.
Dequenne, an award-winning actress from Belgium, was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a cancer of the adrenal gland, in October, 2023.
By April 2024, she shared with fans that she went into remission and opened up about returning to acting. “I was close to forgetting because I was leaving the hospital today after 13 days… What a tough battle,” she wrote on the social media.
Sadly, the cancer returned again at the end of 2024.
Speaking to the French television show TF1 in December 2024, she revealed her health condition deteriorated. “I know I will not live as long as planned,” she said.
