He leaves behind hundreds of thousands of saddened fans. Those who followed him daily at 1 p.m. on TF1 until he bowed out in December 2020.
Jean-Pierre Pernaut passed away at the age of 71, as his wife’s agent, Nathalie Marquay, told AFP. “Tom, Lou, Olivier and Julien’s father died of lung cancer”we learned.
After having overcome prostate cancer, the main interested party had announced a few months ago to suffer from this same disease, this time in the lungs.
“I learned about this disease last May. I underwent a first operation at the beginning of July. A treatment that has been going on for a few weeks. […] And if I talk about it, first because you shouldn’t be afraid of cancer. I’ve had a prostate before, you know. I talked about it to improve prevention. Same thing for the lung. I thought it could only happen to other people. For years and years I was told to quit smoking. I didn’t believe it, well I should have stopped. That’s it, I’ll keep you posted, so far so good.”he wrote last November, on his social networks.
According to our exclusive information, Jean-Pierre Pernaut entered the hospital a few hours ago for a “routine visit”. But there, things get complicated. “The doctors discovered that his heart was functioning abnormally”, tells us a source close to the star. And to continue: “An emergency operation is then put in place”.
“Jean-Pierre fell into a coma during this intervention and, since that night, his relatives have been at the bedside. The doctors were categorical and asked Jean-Pierre’s clan to make a terrible decision: that of unplug and thus avoid therapeutic relentlessness.”
