Benedict Cumberbatch

Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch (born July 19th, 1976 as "Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch") died quietly while driving in the snow on May 19th, 2025 (TBV) with his middle son at the wheel. His cause of death was possibly an aneurism. He was 48 years old when he passed.

Benedict is survived by his parents, Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton, dear wife Sophie Hunter , his children, sons Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch, Hal Auden and Finn, his sibling, sister Tracy Peacock as well as his pet hamster, Roxy.

Professionally, Benedict was a Film-Actor who was best known for his many roles including, of course, his role in the movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home".

When he was not at work being a Film-Actor, Benedict was known for his love of playing bingo and he would spend tons of time with his dobber at the ready. Mr. Cumberbatch (also known as Ben) also spent months visiting with his high school sweetheart most weeks when he was able to sneak away. Ever since he was a greedy boy in Hammersmith, many remember Benedict as a funny fellow with great practical jokes that engrossed everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a significant donation to the Down Syndrome Society in Benedict's honor.

A funeral is planned to be scheduled for Sunday the 1st at the chapel in Hammersmith. The service will commence at 10AM with a reception to follow hosted by his oldest friend at the burial place where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at chapel at 9AM.

Quotable Quotes:

"[on Stephen Hawking] He's such a presence and you have to really know what you want to say to him or ask him because it takes such a huge, phenomenal effort for him to communicate with you.

I don't know what to say to make me feel worthy of playing this man."." (IMDB)

"I have never depended on the kindness of strangers because I know everyone nice."
