Andre Braugher's cause of death has been revealed.
Initially, reports indicated that Andre was struggling with a brief illness. Now it has been claimed that the actor was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months prior to his death and he passed as a result, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He died aged 61 on Monday. His friends and family were heartbroken, with many taking to social media to express their grief.
His Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Terry Crews wrote: "Can't believe you're gone so soon. I'm honoured to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts. You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship. Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time. You showed me what a life well lived looks like."

I will remember it every time I ask work to make time for me to be with my family. I will remember how you sent me pictures of Fall trees in NJ because you knew how much I missed that time of year back east. I will remember you calling me Melly Fumé. I will remember so much. I really thought I'd see you again."

I will remember all the times we laughed because your laugh was one of the all time greatest laughs to have ever existed. I will remember the deep love and loyalty you had for your family. I will remember it every time I ask work to make time for me to be with my family...I will remember so much."
Prior to his death and diagnosis, he shared that he spent more time focusing on his family than career, but did so without regrets. He told Variety in 2020: "It’s been an interesting career, but I think it could have been larger. I think it could have spanned more disciplines: directing, producing, all these other different things. But it would have been at the expense of my own life."
