LOS ANGELES, April 4, 2025 – Val Kilmer, the iconic actor known for Batman Forever, died at 65 from pneumonia, his daughter Mercedes confirmed to The New York Times. Family sources told TMZ that Kilmer spent his final years bedridden, his body weakened by past cancer treatments despite being declared cancer-free. “His body couldn’t keep fighting,” a source said, noting a gradual decline that worsened sharply in his last week. Surrounded by loved ones, Kilmer passed in hospital. Survived by his two children, who are planning his funeral, tributes have flooded in from stars like Cher and Francis Ford Coppola.
