"Tom was one of the most sincere, kind and generous human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. "His courage and determination through adversity was always an inspiration to me. "The past couple of years were great for him and he was getting his life back to a great place. He loved his sons and his family. "I will miss my friend Tom Sizemore greatly." Sizemore's death comes just days after his family were told to prepare for end-of-life decisions after his condition failed to improve after he collapsed at his Los Angeles home on February 18 and became unconscious. The actor played the role of Sergeant Horvath in Saving Private Ryan. He was also in Black Hawk Down, and Heat among other films.

The agent continued: "Today, doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end of life decisions. The family is now deciding end of life matters and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday. "We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support, and prayers that have been received. This has been a difficult time for them." Lago previously told FOX News that Sizemore was at his South Main Street apartment in Los Angeles when he suffered a brain aneurysm and became unconscious. "He is in the hospital," Lago said. :His family is aware of the situation and are hoping for the best. "It is too early to know about [a] recovery situation as he is in critical condition under observation." Sizemore's most recent role was in a new indie science fiction film, Impuratus, playing a police detective forced to believe in the supernatural after witnessing a Civil War veteran's death bed confession.
