The Mini-Me actor's passing was confirmed today on his official social media pages, following his hospitalisation earlier this month.

Troyer was admitted to hospital earlier this month, though it was not revealed the reason he was admitted.

In April 2017, Troyer revealed that he was entering rehab and would be getting treatment for a long-time battle with alcohol addiction.

He said at the time: "I'm willing to continue my fight day by day.

"I've been receiving treatment for the last week and I am voluntarily checking into a treatment center later this week to continue to get the help that I need. I want to thank everyone that's reached out with their messages of support, it truly means the world to me. With your support, I got this."

As an actor, Troyer began his career as a stunt double in Baby's Day Out.

Roles in The Love Guru, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Men in Black and more followed.

Verne has also appeared in reality shows The Surreal Life and Celebrity Big Brother over the years.
