Following a three-month hospitalization following a fall, Timothy West “performed peacefully with his family around him” at a care facility where he was receiving palliative care.

The 90-year-old actor from Coronation Street and EastEnders passed away last November 12th, 2013. Juliet, Samuel, and Joseph West, his afflicted children, at the time, said in a statement that he passed away “peacefully in his sleep.”

After a care home nurse discovered Timothy, an inquest was then opened to determine his cause of death. A care home nurse found him sleeping at Wandsworth Common Care Home – Avery Collection, where he had been staying.

In the days following Timothy’s passing, Assistant Coroner Jean Harkin held an inquest into his death at Westminster Coroner’s Court. She added that Timothy West, a British citizen who was 90 years old and was born in Bradford on October 20, 1934, was the deceased. He married Prunella West and was an actor.

Initial inquest dates had been set for November, and they were scheduled for February. Our sweetheart, Timothy West, passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday evening, according to Timothy’s children’s statement. He was 90 years old.

Actor Timothy West passed away last year at the age of 90 (PA).

Tim left with his friends and family at the conclusion. He leaves his 61-year-old wife, Prunella Scales, a sister, a daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. We will be deeply moved by his passing. We would like to thank the amazing NHS staff at St. George’s Hospital, Tooting, and Avery Wandsworth for their compassionate care of him.

Additionally, EastEnders issued a heartfelt statement, saying, “We are very saddened by Timothy West’s passing. Timothy’s emergence as Stan’s patriarch as the Carter family was immediately felt when he first appeared in EastEnders. He will be our greatest treasure forever. Timothy’s family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.

His son Samuel reported that Prunella was “not well enough” to comprehend that the actor had tragically passed away after Timothy’s passing. According to the Sunday Times, “She’s not really well enough to take it all in,” all I’m saying is.

After caring for his wife Prunella, who was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2015, Timothy gave a rare insight into his family life in the year before his passing. However, Timothy first noticed the signs in a 2001 theater production after seeing her again.

He claimed Prunella was “a little strange” and not entirely with it despite the production going smoothly. He said in a fabled interview with BBC Breakfast in 2023 that things “are not going to get better.” Hasn’t it really been difficult, really? No, he responded, “No, he is the person I love and I enjoy being with,” to which I don’t recall. When he first noticed his wife’s condition, he said, “I came to see a play that Pru was doing in Greenwich,” he said.

The audience enjoyed it a lot when I watched it the first night, and when I watched it again, I realized she wasn’t completely with it. We saw a doctor, who explained to us that he was aware that this was only a result of getting older. Although it won’t get any easier, we still manage and deal with it.
