The former “Hollyoaks” star previously experienced a near-death encounter due to respiratory failure linked to his vaping addiction.

Paul Danan’s management company has announced his death at the age of 46. They have spoken of how his life impacted many.

Danan was known for his television career, including his appearances on “Love Island.” His management, who are heartbroken by his death, has noted that the actor will be celebrated for his exceptional talent and unwavering kindness. “Paul was a beacon of light to so many,” the management wrote in a post on Instagram.

They added, “His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him. During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paul’s family, friends, and colleagues.”

In 2024, Danan experienced a life-threatening health scare after years of smoking and vaping. He collapsed and required CPR before being rushed to the hospital. “I was dead — it’s a miracle I’m here,” the actor reflected.

He spent a week in intensive care, where he contracted pneumonia. Doctors at Whipps Cross Hospital in East London had told his family that, “he might not make it through the night.” Luckily, he survived the ordeal, but tragically, Danan has now passed away. The cause of death has not been shared by his family.

Danan’s passing has deeply touched the lives of many who followed his career in soap operas and reality television. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, and his contributions to the entertainment industry will not be forgotten.
