Kilmer had health problems for many years – he was hospitalized with throat cancer in 2015, eventually in remission, but the illness permanently damaged his voice.
TMZ also found out that his health was heading in a serious direction in his last few years, leaving him bedridden for years before his death.
His health had been declining for a while, so his death was said to have not been a surprise.
