Normal Heart writer and AIDS activist Larry Kramer dead at 84 after battling pneumonia and liver disease

Larry’s cause of death was pneumonia, his husband, architect David Webster, told The New York Times.

Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda mourned the loss of Larry on Twitter, writing: “Don’t know a soul who saw or read The Normal Heart and came away unmoved, unchanged.

“What an extraordinary writer, what a life. Thank you, Larry Kramer.”

All in the Family star Rob Reiner remembered his time working with the author, tweeting: “Sad to hear of Larry Kramer’s passing. We shared the stage in Lance Black’s play, ‘8’ which highlighted our fight for marriage equality.

“He was a fierce advocate for gay rights. He and his passionate voice will be missed.”
