British Actor Dies Of Mesothelioma Cancer
David Nicholls, who co-starred with Russell Crowe in the film “Gladiator” has died of mesothelioma. He was 58 years old.
Nicholls was diagnosed with the asbestos-caused cancer in 2007, and an autopsy revealed that asbestos inhalation was the cause of his disease.
Asbestos exposure most likely occurred when Nicholls was a teenager and worked at a factory in Tipton, West Midlands. Nicholls reportedly prepared a personal statement related to his asbestos exposure and subsequent cancer diagnosis prior to his death.
Nicholls leaves behind his partner and his three sons.
