Val Kilmer, a significant actor from the 1980s and 1990s, passed away at the age of 65.

His death was attributed to pneumonia, following a battle with throat cancer diagnosed in 2014.

He is survived by his ex-wife Joanne Whalley and their two children, Mercedes and Jack.

I have behaved poorly. I have behaved bravely. I have behaved bizarrely to some. I deny none of this and have no regrets because I have lost and found parts of myself that I never knew existed.
— Val Kilmer in his autobiographical documentary "Val."
