Star Wars actor Paul Grant has died age 56 after suddenly collapsing outside Kings Cross station.

His life support machine was switched off on Sunday, his heartbroken family today confirmed.

Paul, 56 - who was 4ft 4in tall - is understood to have appeared in various films over the course of his career, including playing an Ewok in Return of the Jedi (1983).

He previously told the Mirror that he also appeared in the Star Wars film as robot R2-D2 in some scenes, saying that he stood in for co-star Kenny Baker who played the role.

Paul's other credits are said to include working on Labyrinth (1986) and Willow (1988) as well as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001).

It was reported Paul was found by police after he collapsed outside Kings Cross station on Thursday afternoon.

British Transport Police told the Mirror: "Officers at King’s Cross responded to a medical emergency outside the station at just after 2pm on 16 March.

"They performed CPR on a man before paramedics arrived and took over his care. He was taken to a local hospital in a critical condition."

He was rushed to hospital, where the actor was declared brain dead, it has been claimed.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 2.08pm on Thursday 16 March to reports of an incident at St Pancras Station, Euston Road.

"We sent an ambulance crew and a medic in a response car. We treated a man at the scene and took him to hospital as a priority."

Paul shared three children; Sophie, Nicole and Robbie, with his ex-wife Janet Crowson.

He said at the time: "I've been on cocaine and it has just got worse. I'm drinking and smoking what I can get. I'm all right but I do need help."

Wait...wait...I'm sensing a connection here.

56 is in that heart attack age group for men to begin with. Add genetics and what he admits to doing with his body. What do you get?

The guy was my age. Hopefully, the shot didn’t have anything to do with it.

I think most actors, actresses, and personnel had to take the shots to work and now it is starting to show up, Lance Reddick for one recently and others. I only see this accelerating in the next 2 to 3 years and soon out will not be possible to cover up and ignore. And yet Fauci wants an annual booster that we know does not work but a short time but the effects are for a lifetime.

What’s really being said here is the guy died because NIH was short staffed.
