Broadway actor Nick Cordero dies of coronavirus complications

Broadway and television actor Nick Cordero died Sunday from complications related to the coronovirus.

The Tony nominated actor reportedly suffered sepsis infections, had mini-strokes and had his right leg amputated before he died.

In May, Cordero's wife, Amanda Kloots, revealed he had woken from a medically induced coma but remained “extremely weak.” Amanda announced his death on Instagram.

“God has another angel in heaven,” she wrote. “My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”

While Cordero was in hospital, Kloots regularly sent him videos of her and their 1-year-old son, Elvis, and encouraged fans to take part in a daily sing-a-long. She paid tribute to his "extraordinary" doctor and thanked everyone for "the outpour of love, support and help we've received".

Many other celebrities paid tribute to Cordero and his family including Josh Gad, Zach Braff and Viola Davis.

“My heart is broken. I feel ill,” Gad tweeted. “Along with the entire Broadway community and the entire world, I mourn the loss of the incredible Nick Cordero and send my sincerest love and prayers to ⁦@amandakloots⁩ , Elvis & and entire family. RIP Nick.”

“RIP Nick Cordero!” Viola Davis wrote on her twitter page. “My condolences to you Amanda who fought and loved so hard….so sorry for his little one. My heart is with you. May flights of angels….”

A fundraising page to help pay for medical expenses raised more than $600,000 (£480,000).
