Andy Hallet was 33 years old at the time of his death.

According to a 2005 interview, about a month after filming the last episode of Angel Hallett suffered a tooth infection which led to a case of cardiomyopathy, for which he spent five days in the hospital. He did not return to acting afterward (except for a voice acting part in Geppetto's Secret), but pursued his music career and frequently appeared at Angel- or science fiction/fantasy-related conventions.
