Rory Callum Sykes, a popular former child star in the 1998 British television series Kiddy Kapers, died tragically after fire ravaged his family’s property in Malibu. The 32-year-old man was blind and suffered from cerebral palsy. Although his mother tried to save him, he died amid the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles in recent times.
The news of his death was confirmed by his mother Shelley Sykes. “It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of my beautiful son @Rorysykes in the Malibu fires yesterday. I am heartbroken,” she wrote on X. According to reports, the actor reportedly died of carbon monoxide poisoning after his mother failed to evacuate him from the property because he was unable to walk.
Sykes asked him to leave him and run away. “He said, ‘Mom, leave me,’ and no mom can leave her child. And I have a broken arm, I couldn’t adjust it, I couldn’t move it,” she told Australian media. According to a social media post, Shelley had broken her arm and failed to lift it.
“I couldn’t put out the ashes on his roof with a garden hose because the water was shut off by the Las Virgenes municipal water supply,” she wrote. “Even the 50 brave firefighters had no water all day. »
