Emilie Dequenne, renowned for her role in the BBC drama The Missing, succumbed to cancer two years following her diagnosis.
Dequenne, a celebrated actress from Belgium, received a diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma, a type of cancer affecting the adrenal gland, in October 2023.
In April 2024, she informed her fans of her remission and expressed her desire to return to acting. She shared on social media, “I was nearly forgetting as I left the hospital today after a 13-day stay… It was a challenging fight.” Unfortunately, the cancer reoccurred at the end of 2024.
In an interview with the French television program TF1 in December 2024, she disclosed that her health had worsened. “I am aware that my lifespan will not be as long as I had anticipated,” she stated.
Emilie Dequenne passed away on March 16 at a hospital located on the outskirts of Paris, France, at the age of 43.
