The latest we hear is that popular Tamil actor, Florent C Pereira has passed away due to Corona virus complications. He died on the late hours of September 14 and was 67 years old when he breathed his last. The Tamil audience would have seen him play important supporting roles and he is quite a memorable face, known for delivering convincing performances.
