www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I could confirm based on recent coverage.
- Tom Kane, the voice actor known for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Powerpuff Girls, has been reported deceased at age 64 after complications from a stroke he suffered in late 2020. Several outlets quoted his representatives and family confirming the death in mid-May 2026.[2][3][4][5]
- His family had previously announced in 2020 that a left-hemisphere stroke had affected his speech and reading abilities, leading to a long period away from voice acting. This context helps explain the longevity of public notices about his health in the intervening years.[3][6][2]
- Reactions and tributes highlighted his work across Star Wars animation and other popular series, noting that while his voice work left a lasting legacy, his health challenges began years earlier.[4][7][3]
