Andy's wife, Vashti, said the cause was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which they found out during a routine check-up in March last year.

Andy took a leave from Spartacus to heal, but never recovered enough to come back. Actor Liam McIntyre took over the leading role for the show's second season.

Andy Whitfield was from Wales but lived in Australia. He is survived by two children and a sister, in addition to his wife who said the actor died in her arms.
