Robbie Coltrane s cause of death explored Although Robbie Coltrane's agent confirmed the news of his passing, she withheld any information regarding the reason for his demise. The actor had a history of health problems, but it is unclear whether they played a role in his death. Coltrane had to undergo a lot of pain due to his osteoarthritis. One of his pictures went viral in 2019 where he was in a wheelchair and was unable to walk. Sources at the time revealed that he was in pain for a long time and was planning to get knee replacement surgery when the disorder damaged his joints.

He added that he had no cartilage on his knee and that he would never wish such pain on his worst enemy. According to sources, the actor was also wheeled in and out of the launch of the new Universal Orlando attraction, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike ride, a Harry Potter event, in 2019, which surprised his fans because they had always seen him standing strong and tall. The source added, “It’s hugely frustrating for him but he’s really hoping to be back on his feet after getting the operation.” However, he was cured of the pain following his surgery in 2020. The actor stated that being able to sleep and being pain-free after the operation changed his life.
