Fritz Wepper is dead: This is how touchingly colleagues mourn the cult actor. He died in March 2024 after a stay in a hospice in Upper Bavaria.
The last years of his life were marked by health problems. In 2021, he was diagnosed with skin cancer that had already metastasized. A tumor in his abdomen was later surgically removed. There was also great sadness abroad. Numerous series lovers from Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, among others, said goodbye.
