TV star secretly battled stage 4 metastatic cancer
By Staff Writers
Will and Grace alum Corey Parker battled advanced stage 4 metastatic cancer.
The actor - who died aged 60 on Thursday - received the heartbreaking diagnosis after he underwent hip replacement surgery in 2025, and the bone was sent to pathology.
Throughout last year, Corey posted several devastating health updates on the page as his family faced the “overwhelming cost of treatment without coverage” due to him becoming “ineligible for his SAG insurance”.
One update shared on November 14 revealed that “90 per cent” of Corey’s bones were “covered with the adenocarcinoma” - an aggressive cancer that starts in the glandular cells that lines organs.
