Emmy-winning actor Bill Paxton died due to complications from surgery, PEOPLE confirms.

“It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery,” a family representative said in a statement. “A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker. Bill’s passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”

The Texas native, who won an Emmy for his work in the TV mini-series Hatfields and McCoys, began acting in the 1970s. His earliest acting credits include minor roles in blockbusters such as Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986).

Paxton’s notable performances include playing Morgan Earp in Tombstone (1993), Fred Haise in Apollo 13 (1995), the lead role in the 1996 hit Twister and as treasure hunter Brock Lovett in Titanic (1997).

Well damn... he was excellent in tombstone.

Forever Chet. RIP.

****.


He was awesome in Aliens and True Lies.

Rip. Enjoyed his acting.

The only man to be killed by a Predator, an Alien and a Terminator.

RIP Bill

Ditto

Frailty was the best, love that ****ing movie.


RIP, no more chasin tornados.

First ever make out session was at the theater during Twister. Thanks Bill Paxton.

damn.

RIP Bill Paxton.

Same here. That movie was brilliant. And he was a part of so many awesome movies.

I may have to have a Frailty/Aliens/Weird Science marathon later.

****.

RIP

:(

Awesome in the new CBS series training day



But what does "complications from surgery" mean? He's young. He shouldn't have complications, unless the surgery was major or unexpected

It will eventually come out. Like Dick Schaap dying on the operating table due to complications that arose during a routine hip replacement that many thousands of Americans experience everyday. Manure comes up in routine things during surgery and sometimes it can be fatal even though all precautions were taken. Sometimes the body does not routinely respond as expected to surgery as most do. Very well could be a deflective statement about something else much more private. Who knows ?

Hated reading this. Especially since it was due to complications from surgery. Especially since I'm having surgery tomorrow. Like reading about a plane crash before a trip.

Odds should favor you then

Suck. I can't think of a role he was bad in.

RIP.


Shit happens man, bleeds, embolism, infection. A lot of bad shit can happen.

What a career that guy had, just look at all of the iconic movies he appeared in... its a stellar list

RIP, Bill

Lance Henriksen

Loved him in True Lies.

This blows. RIP

"WOULD A TERRORIST PEE HIMSELF???" LMAO

Maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events but we just got ours asses kicked pal.

RIP

Weird Science and Terminator are the first movies I remember seeing him in.... Always seemed to steal the scene... RIP... Prayers sent to his family...

Frailty

Remember what I said about people seein' a bright light before they die? It ain't true. I can't see a damn thing.

RIP Bill Paxton

"Let's face it. The Vette, gets em' wet"

"Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?"

"Aww, but she could be so hot if she wanted to. She's like all these babes, you get their pilot lit, they could suck start a leafblower. And she's got the most incredible body too and a pair of titties that make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk. Ass like a ten year old boy! AHAHAHAHA!"

Great lines, and he delivers them perfectly. LMAO

61 is pretty young to die from a surgery infection or embolism. Something seems off.

He had just done a great interview on WTF. Really worth a listen, he had a ton of stories and a lot of different interests. Pretty impressive guy, RIP.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow, to paraphrase Simply Red... you'll be fine

Chet was one of the best comedic performances of all time.

Ive seen that damn movie at least 30 times, and every damn time he comes on the screen I'm dying laughing.

RIP

Sonofabitch! A greatly underrated actor IMO

How about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?

There's always a risk of infection with any surgery, but that's usually afterwards. You can throw an embolism at any age. I had a friend pass at 27 from one during a pretty minor surgery and he was the picture of health. It could have been a reaction to the anesthesia.
I was really starting to enjoy his new series as well. It was kind of a 180 from his role in Big Love.

They're saying now it was a stroke from complications of heart surgery...

Dammit, RIP Bill Paxton. Loved him in Big Love among others, but that was the biggest role that I followed.

That sucks. Bill was damn good in the movies. Sad day.

RIP

Technically he detonated a grenade rather than be killed by an Alien.

I JUST watched Tombstone last night.
Weird.

Well, maybe not that weird....good movie.

RIP

IN MEMORY OF BILL PAXTON

Sometimes when your number's up, your number's up. He was obviously a very wealthy man and must have had a top notch team doing the work.

I'm listening to a podcast he did with Marc Maron right how. Bill said that when he was a kid he had a bout of rheumatic fever which for a while he didn't know he had and it ended up damaging one of his heart valves.

He might have been in a surgery for that for all we know.

Also, 60 isn't young, especially for someone with heart disease.

This. GREAT flick. He directed it too.

I'll always remember Aliens Bill Paxton, besides the infamous "GAME OVER" I laugh my ass off every time when Newt puts on the helmet and he screams "WHAT YOU PUT HER IN CHARGE?!"

Frailty had one of the greatest twist endings of all time. It was right up there with Usual Suspects. It's a shame more people haven't seen it. Whenever the subject of obscure films comes up, I always recommend it.

It's a shame that movie is largely forgotten. Not even on Blu Ray. Tom Arnold was also brilliant.

Little known fact: Bill came up with most of that dialogue. He derived it from his father!

LMAO

We're on an express elevator to hell. Goin' down.

If you like JFK he did narrated a show about JFK's busy last days and Paxon was in the audience when JFK spoke a day before he got brained. Pretty crazy.

Twister is still a great movie.

Great actor. Peace.

Me too. He was downright frightening in Frailty.

Another big thumbs up for Frailty.

Amen. RIP Chet/Hudson/Morgan/Bill

**** me, I JUST finished watching his new Training Day TV show.

Last scene was him talking to the headstone of his dead partner

The rare character actor who wasn't annoying in most of his roles.

.

****ing Doctors


R.I.P Bill

Just ****ing horrible.

RIP Bill you were one of my all time favorite actors.

Most likely a stroke during/after valve replacement surgery. It's a huge threat for that kind of surgery.

And it's a shame. Reading up about the guy, it appears Paxton was the kind of actor who was admired by the boom operators, set personnel, as well as other actors. The guy who knew their names, and didn't forget a face.

Travel Well, BP.

Damn, too young, such a talent too.

I was scheduled for back surgery Tuesday but have canceled due to a lingering cold and a bad case of the flu within our home the last month.

Just didn't want to take that chance.

Good actor but I don't care thats hes dead. Deaths never faze me.

Yours will, I bet.

Not when I look forward to it.

This isn't a jihadist thing, is it? Because I may have an obligation to tell someone.

No. ROFL

Hope you don't die tomorrow.

For christs sake, will ya cover yourself

RIP

I'll never forget watching Aliens with my JW family and they found Bill Paxton's death so horrifying and profanity-filled they demanded I turn the movie off. LMAO

Well played, Bill. :hail:

Hey, that looks pretty good, now make yourself one.

It's not a whale's dick, honey.

HE WOULDN'T KNOW, HE DOESN'T STAND FOR BALONEY.

He played Chet to perfection. The dickhead older brother.

Do you know how disrespectful that is? Boy I wouldn't give a squirt of piss for your ass right now. /Worlds biggest wedgie.

PB you should know that.

ROFL

Good one Rain Man.

LMAO
