En sjælden blodkar sygdom tog desværre livet af Harold Ramis, som kun blev 69 år gammel.
Harold Ramis havde en sjælden sygdom kaldet auto-immune inflammatory vasculitis, der får blodkarrene til at hæve.
Harold var specielt kendt for sin karakter Dr. Egon Spengler i Ghostbusters filmene, men han var også aktiv bag kameraet, hvor hans største bedrift nok er filmen ‘Groundhog Day’ (dansk titel: En Ny Dag Truer) fra 1993, hvor han både havde skrevet manuskriptet og instruerede filmen. Hans gode ven Bill Murray og smukke Andie MacDowell (som havde sin storhedstid i 90’erne) spillede hovedrollerne i ‘Groundhog Day’.
Flere gode venner og kollegaer har tweeted deres sorg:

No no not Harold Ramis. Worked for him years ago. He was the real deal. Growing up, his work changed my life. He will be missed.
