What Happened to Cormac?
Cormac, a musician, first shared the news of his illness in July 2022. However, he had been battling since November 2021. He revealed that he had stage 3 germ cell cancer and was treating it aggressively.
He mentioned that the cancer, called Choriocarcinoma, had been difficult to battle and had stayed a few steps ahead of any treatment he tried to throw at it. He also revealed that it made him lose hearing, weight, and confidence.
He admitted the cancer was on a "murderous path," which would not stop until he could find some way to beat it. Unfortunately, he never found the treatment to rid him of the terrible disease.
Cormac spoke about his experiences battling cancer, saying it hadn't taken his will to survive or his love for writing and playing music. He signed off the post by encouraging followers to embrace life fully. He said:
"Love to you all; please make sure to do the things that you love. Life is short. It is chaos."
What Has Tim Roth's Family Said About Cormac?
A year ago, Roth shared a birthday wish to his son on his birthday. He posted a photo of his son in a birthday hat, accompanied by a caption mentioning that it was the young man's birthday that day.
In August 2022, Cormac shared a video talking about how much he appreciated the support he got from his followers and said that he wanted everyone to do whatever made them happy because life was unpredictable.
After Cormac's death, Roth and his family shared a tribute to him, saying they felt privileged to have 25 years and ten months of memories with him. They also said he had only recently had the chance to turn from a boy into a man.
Aside from their heartache and gratitude over his death and life before it, the family talked about what he was like when he was alive. They called him "an exceptionally gifted and extraordinary musician."
