"Icelandic actor Stefan Karl Stefansson, who played LazyTown villain Robbie Rotten, has died aged 43 from cancer.
Stefansson was best known for his role on the children's show, which was produced from 2004 to 2014. He was initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2016, but said it had been removed with surgery. He often shared his treatment and progress with fans online on social media - announcing in March the disease had returned and was inoperable.
'It's not until they tell you you're going to die soon that you realize how short life is. Time is the most valuable thing in life because it never comes back. And whether you spend it in the arms of a loved one or alone in a prison cell, life is what you make of it. Dream big.'"
What an amazing person we've lost. He was so nice to everyone around him and to his fans and he chose to face his situation head on and make the most of it. Rest in Peace Stefan.
