Last year, Michael shared the news of his brother’s passing on Twitter and noted that Will actually passed away earlier in April. He wrote, “My younger brother Will Weatherly shed his mortal coil on April 20th, 2023 and now continues his journey through the universe.”
Michael continued, “He always liked to travel. As difficult as it is [to] say goodbye — for friends and family — we know there is a smile with his memory. Rest in peace, brother.”
So far, Michael has not shared a cause of death.
Many of Michael’s current and former co-stars quickly swooped in to offer support and condolences, including his NCIS co-star Tess Rutherford. She tweeted, “Michael, you always had his back. RIP little brother. 🙏🏾 Hope you’re dancing with the angels now… pain-free. ❤️.”
