The depressed (and rather incompetent) lawyer at the Sacré-Coeur hospital is gone. Sam Lloyd, who played Ted Buckland in the Scrubs series , died at the age of 56. The actor said he had lung cancer more than a year ago, and then the disease spread to the spine, jaw and liver, in addition to his brain. Sam Lloyd and his family then launched a fundraiser, which has seen its number of donations increase in the last hours since the announcement of the death of the actor.

Tim Hobert, executive producer of the Scrubs series , is the first to have announced the news on Sam Lloyd's donation collection page. “Our dear Sammy has passed away. It was April 30 in a Los Angeles establishment, with his beautiful wife, Vanessa, by his side, and his sister Laurel, in FaceTime from New Hampshire, that Sam Lloyd left this Earth, "he writes. Information confirmed by his agent to several American media, including Variety .
