Love Island Star Dead At 46 -- Just Months After Vaping Sent Him To Hospital

Love Island alum Paul Danan has sadly died at the shockingly young age of 46 years old.

The reality TV fave’s management Independent Creative PR announced the heartbreaking news about his “untimely departure” on Instagram Thursday. They revealed:

“It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Paul Danan at just 46 years old. Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many. His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him. During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paul’s family, friends, and colleagues. No further comments will be made at this time.”

So sad. See the statement (below):

For those who don’t know, Paul portrayed Sol Patrick on the British soap opera Hollyoaks. He then went on to star in the first and second seasons of Celebrity Love Island — which later became what most know now as Love Island UK. Yeah, he was an OG. Take a look (below):

The TV star’s cause of death is unknown. However, Paul had experienced major health issues just months before.

The television personality recently revealed he “nearly died” in May after his vaping addiction sent him to the hospital! Speaking to The Sun after his recovery, he explained he had been smoking an e-cigarette at his parent’s house when he suddenly couldn’t breathe and passed out:

“I was dead — it’s a miracle I’m here. I’m upstairs puffing away on my vape then suddenly I lost my breath and collapsed. My family called for an ambulance and started giving me CPR, then police arrived and took over before paramedics took me to hospital. I was on a machine in ICU and ended up with pneumonia. My family were warned I might not make it through the night. I’m so lucky.”

He survived at the time. Afterward, his doctors told him vaping is what caused his health problems:

“The doctor was so, so harsh with me. She told me, ‘Paul, you don’t know how serious this was and you are going to be in here for a while now, on this oxygen.’ She said if I ever smoke in any form again I risk being linked to an oxygen tank later on in life. She said that’s it now. After years of smoking cigarettes and all sorts, it’s the vaping which has done me in. That pushed me over the edge.”

Oof. That sounds like a rough way to go, assuming it ultimately caused his death.

Our hearts go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Paul…
