Cormac Roth, the musician and son of actor Tim Roth died on October 16, 2022, at age 25 after a battle with cancer.
The family announced Monday that; “we lost our beautiful boy Cormac after a courageous battle with cancer” on Sunday, Oct. 16. “He died peacefully in the arms of his family who loved and adored him,”. “He fought with incredible bravery for the past year, and maintained his wicked wit and humour to the very end.”
“He was a wild and electric ball of energy and his spirit was filled with light and goodness,” a statement from his family reads.
“As wild as he was, Cormac was also the embodiment of kindness. A gentle soul who brought so much happiness and hope to those around him. The grief comes in waves, as do the tears and laughter, when we think of that beautiful boy across the 25 years and 10 months that we knew him. An irrepressible and joyful and wild and wonderful child. Only recently a man. We love him. We will carry him with us wherever we go,” the statement added.
Cormac Roth was a graduate of Bennington College. He was a talented guitarist, composer and producer.
Roth announced on his Instagram that he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 germ cell cancer in November 2021. He detailed that cancer known as choriocarcinoma had taken away half of his hearing, 60lb of weight and his confidence. “Life is short,” he wrote. “It is chaos. And you never know when it’s going to be you. Be well and go to the doctor. Fuck cancer.”
He released the album Python in 2018 and also assisted with the music for Michel Franco’s 2020 film New Order. He had also been releasing music on Soundcloud.
Cormac Roth is survived by his parents, Tim Roth and Nikki Butler, and brother, Hunter Roth.
