It has been reported that Scottish actor Sean Connery, known as the iconic original James Bond, has passed away. This news comes from the acclaimed actor’s publicist, Nancy Seltzer. Connery was 90 years old. No cause of death has yet been given for the star.

Seltzer’s statement reads: “His wife Micheline and his two sons, Jason and Stephane have confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family. There will be a private ceremony followed by a memorial yet to be planned once the virus has ended,”.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was “heartbroken” to hear of Connery’s death. She also paid tribute to Connery as “a patriotic and proud Scot,” saying it was a privilege to have known him. “He was a lifelong advocate of an independent Scotland and those of us who share that belief owe him a great debt of gratitude,” she said.

Sean Connery is survived by Micheline, Jason and his brother, Neil.
