Paul Grant, who was known for his roles in Harry Potter and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, has passed away at 56. Confirming the sad demise of the actor, his daughter Sophie Jayne Grant said in a statement, “I’m heartbroken… No girl deserves her dad to be taken away… He was so well-known and loved for his work. He’s gone too soon.” Paul Grant was reportedly found unresponsive at a train station in London on Thursday (March 16) and was rushed to a hospital. However, he couldn’t survive and took his last breath on Monday (March 20).

Grant played an Ewok in the George Lucas franchise and a goblin in the Harry Potter franchise. In addition to Star Wars and Harry Potter, the actor also had The Dead and Labyrinth to his credit. He was also acclaimed as a stunt performer in productions like Willow, Labyrinth and Legend.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
