David Prowse who played Darth Vader has passed. He was 85 and being treated for prostate cancer. May the force be with Vader.

News accounts - Originally diagnosed in 2009, treatment ended 2010 with undetectable PSA. Treated again in 2018. Cause of death stated as a short illness. He was also battling dementia. Maybe Covid. https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/1879881/darth-vader-actor-dave-prowse-died-of-covid/
