Eric Dane, aka Dr. McSteamy, disclosed his ALS diagnosis in April 2025, and friends are now revealing details about his fight with the condition.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – ALS – is a “rare, terminal neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction,” ASL Association explains. In the States, it is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Speaking of the devastating diagnosis, Dane told People at the time, “I have been diagnosed with ALS.
“I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next…I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
Though the course of ALS differs from person to person, the disease has taken the lives of many familiar names — among them Bryan Randall, Sandra Bullock’s partner, in 2023, and SpongeBob SquarePants cre
Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most renowned scientists, lived with ALS for more than five decades, far exceeding typical survival expectations.
