Tragic last pictures of Tom Sizemore as Saving Private Ryan actor seen weeks before death

Saving Private Ryan actor Tom Sizemore tragically died after suffering a brain aneurysm at the age of 61.

The Hollywood star was rushed to hospital in Los Angeles last month after enduring the serious medical emergency, but has since sadly passed away.

Charles Lago, Tom's manager, broke the news, revealing the actor died on Friday in hospital in California.

But it was just over a month ago since he was last publicly spotted in what may have been his last outing.

The beloved star appeared in good spirits, but was far from his action movie days as he sported a pared-down checked shirt and blue Henley top.

He covered his greying hair with a black flat cap and flashed a subtle smile as he posed on the red carpet alongside fellow Hollywood friends.

Before his sudden illness and subsequent death, the actor was expected to star in a new indie science fiction film called Impuratus.

In the film, he would play a police detective who is compelled to believe in supernatural events after witnessing a Civil War veteran's dying confession.

Charles had previously confirmed that the actor suffered the brain aneurysm on Saturday, February 18 - just weeks after his last red carpet event – falling unconscious at around 2am.

In a heart-breaking health update, Charles then revealed that Tom would never had been able to recover from his critical condition after his hospital admission.

Charles informed fans on Monday 20 February: "Today doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end of life decision."

"The family is now deciding end of life matters and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday," Charles admitted.

He added: "We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time, and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support and prayers that have been received.

"This has been a difficult time for them."

Tom was a huge star in movies spanning several decades with some of his best-known work including Natural Born Killers, Black Hawk Down, Born On The Fourth Of July, and Heat.
