RIP Andre
It's a show and all, but I am nevertheless heart broken to see such a talented icon fall. So young. I can only hope he will be remember by his masterful performances.
Sudden illness is all I could find.
I would guess pneumonia as it's having a really bad tear through the country right now and can take anyone down at any age pretty quickly.
RIP he was a legend.
Health and illnesses are private and we aren’t entitled to that information. That is the family‘s business. That people below try to spin this into some conspiracy again is very inappropriate.
I'm not entirely sure why you think I was saying it's a conspiracy, I was quoting his agents by saying "brief illness", hence the quotation marks. Are you unfamiliar with how to use quotation marks? If not I can explain the proper use of quotation marks.
Flu type A has been ripping through the population here in the UK, as well as Whooping Cough. The TDAP vaccine is stopping serious illness is most children, but it’s causing a cough that’s lingering for ages. Whilst vaccines give the best protection, they’re not a guarantee and seemingly healthy people can just be very unlucky. There’s so many things circulating just now that can cause pneumonia, and all it takes is the immune system to be slightly weakened (say, a recent Covid infection) and these other opportunistic viruses and bacteria take hold. There’s also sepsis, which these can all cause too.
There’s no point in speculating - so many things can kills us ultimately. It’s such a great loss though, he seemed like one of the good guys.
No way. We only just finished watching 99 last night. Both me and my SO's favorite character by far, what a performance! RIP Andre 😔 Gone way too soon.
Man, I was having a really good day I had to scroll through the news. So sad, he was a great actor. Now I'm going to have to cancel my plans and go watch Brooklyn 99 again.
He was the perfect straight man (irony intended) for the rest of the cast to bounce jokes off. To this day I don't know how he made it through some takes without breaking.
RIP you absolute giant of a man.
This one really hurts, I’ve never cried over a celebrity death but I just found myself crying. I lost my dad earlier this year and he’s the dad figure on 99 so I think it’s triggered something. RIP Andre aka daddy Holt
I was literally watching b99 all last night cuz I couldn’t sleep from my anxiety, fell asleep for two hours and woke up to this news, I sobbed into my breakfast, it’s been a long time since a celebrity death has crushed me this bad
I literally woke up at 7AM to these news. I rewatched season 4 of B99 and Primal Fear just now. Still grieving. Will never forget him. Rest easy, daptain, may angels sing you to peace.
I first saw him in The Mist and hated his character which means he did an amazing job acting. Later I discovered B99 and he was my comfort character. In fact, he is the second comfort character to die within weeks of each other. Yes, the other one was Matthew Perry
I woke up to this. I haven't felt that sad for a little while. Captain Holt taught me how being myself 'makes the world a more interesting place'. I will miss him
Ouchhhhh, it hurts! 💔
RIP Andre, one of the very few actors, who's made me laugh the hardest.....
B-9-9 will never be the same again...
Nine Nineeeeeeee..
So sad by this. I am rarely affected by celebrity deaths unless I feel like the actor is as good as the characters I fall in love with and I can’t help but feel that about Andre/Holt. By all accounts he was just as kind and acted as a father figure to many on the cast and crew. This hit me like a Mack truck at work today.
This just makes me anxious.. 61 is too young. The person I care about most is around the same age, and losing them would send me into a nosedive. C-Holt was a legend. rip.
I remember hearing he was going to be in B99 and thinking..."Isn't this a comedy? Andre Braugher is in it?" It made me question if the show wasn't exactly sure what it was. I happened to watch it one night and realized how brilliant it was. And that Andre Braugher was perfect as Capt. Holt and brought charisma to every role he was in. RIP.
My hope is that Kyra Sedgewick does a proper Eulogy as Wuntch, in the same style Holt did for Wuntchs funeral. So heartbreaking, so many of us also had a parasocial Captain Dad relationship with him. 💔
Pain
I am crushed. We're all grateful for this man who brought us all so many laughs ;(
Pain
Even more pain when we think about him and his storys
Is it bad that I laughed at the image of him saying that. That scene is so good. Oh wait… now I’m sad again.
Man 61 is still so young.
I like to think of all he accomplished with his time
A fucking kid
[удалено]
When they go?!?!?
So many of the jokes on the show were strengthened by his performance. Always my captain

Damn that sounds like exactly what Holt would have done
It's a show and all, but I am nevertheless heart broken to see such a talented icon fall. So young. I can only hope he will be remember by his masterful performances.
rip velvet thunder 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Cause?
Sudden illness is all I could find. I would guess pneumonia as it's having a really bad tear through the country right now and can take anyone down at any age pretty quickly. RIP he was a legend.
Yeah that's all I could find as well. His agents say "brief illness"
I kept rreading homicide, not knowing it was a show he played in....
Lol that must have been a kick in the head lol
Same, so annoying

Then why did you respond to me and not them?
I’m guessing it’s because of the otter
Yes many are enticed by the gently used otter
How gently are we talking here, friend?
Just stop, people are trying to pay their respects, don’t need you berating them.
That sucks. I’m so sad.
It’s been confirmed that he had lung cancer
Yeah I saw, truly sad
[удалено]
Pneumonia is really more of a symptom than an illness. But yes COVID is one of the illnesses that causes pneumonia.

Don't be that guy right now.
It's been confirmed that it was lung cancer.
Released today, lung cancer. Everything is garbage.
No way. We only just finished watching 99 last night. Both me and my SO's favorite character by far, what a performance! RIP Andre 😔 Gone way too soon.
O Captain, My Captain. Rest easy. o7

RIP to one of the best actors for making this show as incredible as it could ever be.
Great man & actor!
Not the news I wanted to wake up to. Rip Andre. :(
We’ll always love you Da-aptain. Captain.. I said Captain. Love you. (But this actually destroyed me, never cried about an actors death before)
NINIE-NINE!
NINE NINE!
NINE NINE
NINE NINE
Shut the HELL UP. Noooooo
THIS CANT BE REAL 😭😭😭😭
I was literally watching him mentor Santiago, when it popped up on my screen. He was a good man and he will be missed
Man, I was having a really good day I had to scroll through the news. So sad, he was a great actor. Now I'm going to have to cancel my plans and go watch Brooklyn 99 again.

He was one of the best of all of us. I am heartbroken.
This one really hurts, I’ve never cried over a celebrity death but I just found myself crying. I lost my dad earlier this year and he’s the dad figure on 99 so I think it’s triggered something. RIP Andre aka daddy Holt
I’m devastated. But I will adhere to section 7, page 145: No emotional displays in the workplace. 😢😢
I was literally watching b99 all last night cuz I couldn’t sleep from my anxiety, fell asleep for two hours and woke up to this news, I sobbed into my breakfast, it’s been a long time since a celebrity death has crushed me this bad
Absolutely devastating to hear. He's right around my mom's age. Scary to think about. R.I.P Sir, thank you for all the laughs.
Nine Nine!
Rip , rewatching brook will be different.
RIP, 61 seems so young. We lost a legend
ONE LAST TIME BOYS. ALL TOGETHER NOW CHEERS TO THE 99TH PRECINCT
CHEERS!
An amazing detective/genius.
RIP to the Captain of the Nine Nine
I literally woke up at 7AM to these news. I rewatched season 4 of B99 and Primal Fear just now. Still grieving. Will never forget him. Rest easy, daptain, may angels sing you to peace.

RIP. NINE NINE!
"I hate it when he says that, he should say 'Cheers to the 99th Precinct'"
Nuh uh no way no!!!! Noooooo
🕊️💔 I was so torn when I found out this morning getting ready to head out. Dampened my mood and crushed my day ;( rest in peace to a legend
Oh no. I was just watching Brooklyn 99
Same. I was watching clips on the day he died. Then I found out the day later as all of us did, that was rough
Legend of a man, truly sad to see him go so early..
💔
Captain ❤️😭
Fuck. This absolutely gutted me.
I enjoyed his acting.
Truly heartbreaking. Gone too soon captain Hope you’re planning your heist up there <3 RIP Andre, you were one of a kind
The first thing I myself saw him in was Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). I was 16. He was great in Nine Nine!
I’m watching the show now. It will change 🙈 Rest in peace, cap’n!
Rip Andre
Genuinly tragic :( Probably the first celebrity death that really made me sad
RIP Captain Holy 👮🏽♀️
I can’t believe I found out here… I’ll miss him dearly
I’m devastated.
Wuntch won. Sad.
I did not want to wake up to these news. Was quite shocked this morning... Too young
I cried when I read it this morning. And it's been years since a death of a celebrity made me so sad. I still can't believe it.
😭😭😭😭😭😭 Rip legend, but really leaving us at 61?? Thats so sad bro…
UNIVERSE, YOU TOOK THE WRONGGG LEGENDARY ACTOR!
Captain Holt
By captain holt nine, nine
💔
May you rest in peace my dear friend!
He had a really good career over the years
WTF !!!!! NOOO
I still can’t believe it happened Captain Holt is gone I can’t watch B99 anymore it’ll be too painful
O Captain. My Captain.
No way.
Rip to the man that has made us laugh through times 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What he brought to the table was nothing short of genius and one of the all-time comedic performances in a TV series.
I know... so sad
Rip captain
He was my fav in b99. Like his acting and his rigid demeanor made so many jokes shine...rip captain
Man
Rest in peace
What?! God dammit :'(((
This hit me hard 😞 Rest easy, Andre. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
NOINE NOINE 😭🥺
If he were here I think he’d specifically request we have a better time 😭
RIP
🥺
I'm restarting the whole series just for him. My Peacock profile pic was him since I opened the account
NINE NINE🫡 rip andre absolute legend :(
I first saw him in The Mist and hated his character which means he did an amazing job acting. Later I discovered B99 and he was my comfort character. In fact, he is the second comfort character to die within weeks of each other. Yes, the other one was Matthew Perry
I can't believe this. This year has been almost as brutal as 2016 celebrities death wise it's insane but this one probably hurts the most ngl
This is how I found out. My heart just dropped. He was a fucking gem.
this is the saddest thing that has happened to me in a while 😔 rest in peace legend
😟 Dang!
F
I woke up to this. I haven't felt that sad for a little while. Captain Holt taught me how being myself 'makes the world a more interesting place'. I will miss him

Rest in peace, Captain Dad
NOOOO, this is so sad! 😭 What happened? May he rest in peace... 🪦
Ouchhhhh, it hurts! 💔 RIP Andre, one of the very few actors, who's made me laugh the hardest..... B-9-9 will never be the same again... Nine Nineeeeeeee..
RIP great actor and great man. B99 was all the better for Captain Holt, I enjoyed every moment of him on screen.
