Alain Delon, the iconic French cinema legend and heartthrob, passed away on August 18th at his home in Douchy, France. Surrounded by his loved ones, Delonâs childrenâAlain-Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, and his dog Lupoâannounced his passing in a heartfelt statement: âHe peacefully passed away at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children.â
Although the exact cause of death wasnât disclosed, Delon had been suffering from progressive lymphoma and Alzheimerâs disease. In recent years, the actor had expressed a deep sense of loneliness and pain, even considering euthanasia, with plans reportedly in place.
In January 2024, a court restricted Delonâs legal capacity, preventing him from managing his property. Throughout his final years, his daughter Anouchka was closest to him, often sharing photos of her father. Despite his illness, she emphasized his enduring spirit, saying, âDelon will always remain Delon.â
