- Reports in late April/early May 2026 indicate Gerry Conway, the acclaimed comic writer and co-creator of The Punisher, passed away from pancreatic cancer. Multiple outlets carried obituaries or announcements around April 26–May 1, 2026.[3][6][9]
- Prior health updates in 2024–2025 noted Conway battled pancreatic cancer, underwent Whipple surgery, and was publicly documented as cancer-free by early 2023, with subsequent hospitalizations due to complications.[2][3]
