His stepfather, Carsten Jensen, said on Facebook that Coleman “collapsed without prior health problems” during a trip.

Coleman was born in London and appeared in several movies as a child, including “The Fourth Kind” and “It’s Alive.”

He was best known for playing Eric Brown, aged 11, in the 2005 British comedy movie “Nanny McPhee,” alongside Emma Thompson, Colin Firth and Angela Lansbury.

His former castmate, Eliza Bennett, said she was “heartbroken” at the news.

“After we worked on Nanny McPhee, he dedicated his life to protecting wildlife and fighting climate change,” she wrote.

He became an active member of the climate activism group Extinction Rebellion, according to his stepfather. “Under the name Iggy Fox, he controlled the group’s use of social media, spoke at demonstrations, and was arrested again and again,” wrote Jensen.

Hmm. I wonder if this was a suicide, since he hated humanity and therefore himself.

“he dedicated his life to protecting wildlife and fighting climate change”

Probably the reason I’ve never heard of him.

Collapsed? So the “collapse” was witnessed? Rescue was called.

Bah. Drug overdose or suicide. Family buying time. Insurance considerations?

Kid probably lived an unhappy, negative life because he was on the wrong side of life.

A true leader, unlike all those poseurs around him.
May he inspire them all to try harder!

I don’t wish any harm to her but I think about all those activist-kids who seem to kick off early. Weird.

At least he didn't waste his life on frivolous crap. / src
