Connery’s widow said the actor’s health had deteriorated so bad that he could no longer express himself.
“It was no life for him. He was not able to express himself latterly. At least he died in his sleep and it was just so peaceful. I was with him all the time and he just slipped away. It was what he wanted. He had dementia and it took its toll on him,” said Micheline Roquebrune.
