The media revealed the details of the death of actor Alan Rickman

British actor Alan Rickman has died just six months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This was announced on January 29 by his widow Rima Horton in an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper.

"The biggest problem is that by the time people find out about the disease, it's already too late," Horton said.

She added that the average life expectancy after the discovery of such a disease is about three months. Currently, the woman is raising funds for a charity that develops special tests for earlier detection of pancreatic cancer.
