‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Michael Patrick Passes Away at 35 Due to Motor Neuron Disease

Michael Patrick, known for his appearance in “Game of Thrones,” passed away at age 35.

Patrick was battling with a muscular condition called Motor Neuron Disease and was diagnosed with an incurable health condition in February 2023.

His wife, Naomi Sheehan, announced on Instagram on April 8. She wrote that Mick had passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of progressive neurological disorders that destroy motor neurons, the cells that control skeletal muscle activity such as walking, breathing, speaking, and swallowing.

Sheehan praised Patrick’s positive energy, describing him as an inspiration to everyone who came into contact with him. She concluded by quoting Brendan Behan: “The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink, and somebody to love you.”
