You'll probably remember him best as "Admiral Piett" in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Beloved 'Star Wars' Actor Passes Away from Covid Complications

English actor Kenneth Colley, known for his role as Admiral Piett in the beloved Star Wars saga, has passed away at the age of 87.

Colley, whose expansive career began back in the early '70s on the police drama The Sweeney, spanned over 60 years, including roles in Monty Python's TheLife of Brian, Clint Eastwood's Firefox, and the popular TV series Peaky Blinders.

His most notable role was as the ambitious Imperial officer Admiral Piett in George Lucas' The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi...

“He had been admitted after a fall with an injured arm, however he quickly contracted Covid which developed into pneumonia. He passed away peacefully with friends at his bedside,” the statement read...

Evidently, the media still can't decide whether someone 'died' from or 'with' COVID given that complications typically set in.

It’s flu, but the “100% reliable” quick test came back as “positive” for the “wuhan virus” so they call it “COVID.”

He was admitted to the hospital due to an injured arm, where upon he got sick, so one could posit that his cause of death was hospital admittance.
Makes just as much sense as blaming covid.

Let's just say that one should not underestimate the ability for COVID and other things to spread in an hospital (or nursing home) setting.

It's the very reason so many places still have lockdowns or pseudo-lockdowns when someone even tests positive for something; particularly COVID.
