Kenneth Mitchell muistetaan suorituksistaan The Marvelsissa ja Star Trek: Discoveryssa. Näyttelijä on menehtynyt 49-vuotiaana. ALS-tauti vei. Asiasta kerrottiin Instagramissa.

"For five and a half years, Ken faced a series of awful challenges from ALS. And in truest Ken fashion, he managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment, to living a full and joyous life in each moment".

Mitchell paljasti vuonna 2020 Peoplelle saaneensa diagnoosin vuonna 2018, ja joutuneensa käyttämään pyörätuolia vuodesta 2019 lähtien.

"I think it, over time, became the theme of us accepting this with grace. Trying to see the beauty in it, in a way. I'll never forget, one of my 'Star Trek' co-stars told me, because they had dealt with some trying times with illnesses and stuff, and I remember them communicating to me, saying, 'You have a choice. You can look at this in many different ways, but maybe try to look at this like a gift where you get to experience life in a way that most people don't".
