American actor Tom Sizemore, known for his roles in the films “Heat” and “Saving Private Ryan,” died Friday after spending weeks in hospital due to a brain aneurysm.
The news was confirmed by the actor’s spokesman to the CNN news channel.
Sizemore’s family had released a statement this week announcing that they had to decide “issues related to the end of life” of the actor, already after doctors recognized that there was nothing to do with his state of health.
The 61-year-old Detroit native reached his professional height in the 1990s and 2000s on “Natural Born Killers,” “Strange Days” and “Pearl Harbor.” However, he gained notoriety playing Mike Horvath in the World War II film “Saving Private Ryan.”
Sizemore long struggled with drug addiction and throughout his career faced a number of legal troubles, having been convicted, in 2003, of domestic violence against his ex-fiancée, Heidi Fleiss.
