I don't know how many fans of the Starz cable series Spartacus: Blood and Sand are on Rockpage, but Andy Whitfield, who played Spartacus on the series, died from lymphoma at 39. The story:

I know he bowed out of appearing in the show's second season due to his lymphoma issues, and it eventually claimed him. R.I.P.
