Broadway actor Nick Cordero dies at 41 after high-profile battle against COVID-19

Broadway actor and Tony Award nominee Nick Cordero died of COVID-19 at the age of 41, his wife Amanda Kloots announced on Instagram on Sunday.

"God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth," Kloots wrote in her post.

Cordero was hospitalized in late March after an initial pneumonia diagnosis. In early April, he was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19, and has since spent weeks in the intensive care unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

During his hospitalization, the actor suffered from severe medical complications that included a lung infection and septic shock, and had his right leg amputated. In a recent interview, Kloots said that her husband would need a double lung transplant.
