BBC News and multiple other sources shared this statement from Vaughan's agent, Sally Long-Innes:
"This is to confirm that very sadly Peter Vaughan passed away at approximately 10.30 this morning. He died peacefully with his family around him."

My Darling!, Haunted, Treasure Island (1968), Sudden Terror, Porridge, Brazil, Mountains of the Moon, Dandelion Dead, Murder Most Horrid, The Crucible (1996), and the aforementioned Game of Thrones.

Haunted by disease and death, the fourth visit to the 'children' of the post-Apartheid era is a hymn to the human spirit
Michael Apted's Up series of documentaries which return to the same group of children every seven years throughout their lives has been retooled for numerous countries and last night in 28 Up South Africa (ITV1) we caught up with the children there. They turned seven in 1992, two years after Mandela was released from prison, making them first-hand witnesses to the country under and since his presidency.
In many ways, the Up projects are more like geological studies than sociological research. The cores of the people involved stay the same – the rest is shaped by time and the different pressures brought to bear on them.
Willem, a cheerful, stolid boy, is now a cheerful, stolid Springbok and household name, married to his university sweetheart who is expecting their first child.
