Raphael was 10 when he played Eric Brown in Nanny McPhee, and has sadly passed away at the age of 25.
“He died doing what he loved, working for the noblest cause of all. His family could not be prouder. Let’s celebrate all he achieved in his short life and cherish his legacy.”
Coleman was working for Extinction Rebellion at the time of his death, and his stepfather Carsten Jensen said he “collapsed without prior health problems”.
Raphael won an award in 2010 for his acting.
He wrote on Facebook: “I guess there’s nothing that makes you see death as unfair and meaningless as when a young person dies.
“It’s life itself that’s sabotaged. It just happened to my wife, Liz, whose youngest son, Raph of only 25, died last Friday. He collapsed without prior health problems in the middle of a trip and could not be restored.
“I got to know Raph when he was six years old, and we were so close.”
Rest in peace, Raphael.
