Actor Paul Teal, known for his role in the TV series One Tree Hill, has died at the age of 35 after a short battle with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer.
His partner, Emilia Torello, shared the news in a heartfelt Instagram post on Sunday, revealing the star passed away on November 15, 2024.
The actor’s death is the latest name to be added to the long list of young and healthy people dying suddenly from turbo cancer.
“He was the most talented man I’ve ever met. When he set his mind to something, there was no stopping him,” Torello said.
“He was the most diligent and dedicated person. I truly believed with all of my heart that he would come out the other side of this because of those traits. That’s what makes this loss even more tragic.”
“The most thoughtful, inspiring, driven, self-disciplined, loving man passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024.”

Teal’s “One Tree Hill” co-star Bethany Joy Lenz also posted a tribute following the news of his death.
“My heart is heavy. Paul Teal was the kind of guy who lit up a room without trying. His bright smile, infectious laugh and kind heart made you want to be near him,” she wrote.
“Later, I was giddy to be directing an episode of One Tree Hill where I’d get to cast a new recurring character, Josh — the sleazy movie star,” Lenz shared.
“With his self-effacing sense of humor and willingness to dive fully into any character, Paul was perfect for the part. He was a joy to work with in any environment and so generous.”
“We stayed in touch on and off,” she added. “I wish it had been more. I wish I’d called all those times I meant to but got distracted. Life is short. I keep thinking that this week. Life is short.”

Turbo cancer epidemic
As we reported earlier this year, leading doctors began coming forward to sound the alarm about the unprecedented amount of healthy young people with cancers,
The UK Telegraph reports:
“One study that looked at data from Northern Ireland between 1993 and 2019 found the rate of early-onset cancers increased by 20.5 percent, the equivalent of about 7,000 extra cases a year across the UK.”
Health experts and doctors alike are voicing their confusion over the new cancer trend, which is primarily centered on the abdominal area.
Prof Andrew Beggs, a consultant colorectal surgeon and senior clinical fellow at the University of Birmingham, said he has never seen such an increase in cancers.
“When I started as a cancer surgeon 20 years ago, you rarely saw any younger patients, but now I see them regularly,” he said.
“When they turn up they are shocked, because often they haven’t had any symptoms and because of their age they are not thinking about cancer,” he added.
