Dominic Purcell Mourns Death of Dad Joseph: 'His Stoicism in the Face of Great Pain Was Heroic'

The 'Prison Break' actor took to Instagram to share the news of his father's death.

"My dad passed tonight," Dominic, 54, wrote in the caption, confirming his father died in Ireland while receiving care at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin. After praising his father for "the lessons and examples he taught," Dominic concluded, "As I write, it becomes clear to me that a worded tribute to my dad is not fair play……Such was his disdain for fuss and bother. "Joe got sick about 4 weeks ago and is now in the process of leaving this world behind and headed for some place way more beautiful," she wrote, alongside a trio of pictures, including one from her wedding, as she walked arm-in-arm with her father-in-law.
