Grey's Anatomy Star Eric Dane Dies at 53

The McSteamy era is officially over.

TMZ reports Eric Dane has died at 53 after a battle with ALS. His family confirmed the news, saying he passed Thursday afternoon. He was a fixture on our screens for years, from Grey’s Anatomy to Euphoria, bringing that signature intensity to every role.

This one hits different. ALS is a brutal, unforgiving disease. To think of someone so vibrant facing that fight… it’s a stark reminder.

The statement called his battle “courageous.” We can only imagine. The entertainment world just got a little less handsome, and a lot less interesting. Rest in peace, Dr. McSteamy. You were one of the greats.
