Teen Actor Archie Lyndhurst Found Dead In Family Home After Short Illness

He was Nicholas Lyndhurst’s son and actor like his father. 

He was only 19, he was dating his co-star Nethra Tilakumara.

CBBC paid tribute to Lyndhurst: “We’re so sorry to have to tell you that Archie Lyndhurst, who so brilliantly played Ollie in So Awkward on CBBC, has very sadly died after a short illness.”

“Archie will be hugely missed by all who worked with him, and by all the fans who laughed along with Ollie in the show.”

His friend, Samuel Small, posted on Instagram: “I still can’t quite comprehend that you have passed,”. “You still had so much life to live and I’d give anything for you to keep on living it.”

“My heart aches all day and everyday thinking about you and I just wish I could talk to you just one more time so you could know how much I loved you.”

To my brother Archie. I still can’t quite comprehend that you have passed. You still had so much life to live and I’d give anything for you to keep on living it. My heart aches all day and everyday thinking about you and I just wish I could talk to you just one more time so you could know how much I loved you. I vow to make you proud with every last breath. Love you from now until infinity. Rest in power bro. I wish you could’ve all known Archie how we knew him. I’ve never met someone so full of life and had touched so many peoples hearts. Archie was there for me in my lowest lows but my highest highs were with him. Archie’s my best friend and to say goodbye so soon is absolutely devastating, but his calling was obviously somewhere else and I hope he is brightening up wherever he is. To be honest, I still can’t find the words that do him justice and show how much of a beautiful soul he was, but his mission was to make as many people happy as he could and trust me, he really really did. Archie loved his friends and family so so dearly and we hope he knows how much he truly was loved. We never know what tomorrow will bring so hug the ones you love extra tight as Archie always did🕊🤍
