Sean Connery’s son Jason said his dad was not a “monster” after his mom made tabloids believe otherwise. Although his ex-wife claimed he didn’t leave their son with an inheritance, Jason and Connery’s granddaughter, Saskia, continued to adore him, here’s why.

In October 2020, Connery passed away. It was a massive loss to the film and TV industry and an even bigger loss to his family, who still miss him dearly. Connery was 90 when he passed away in the Bahamas.

He was surrounded by his family as he passed in his sleep at his home. After his death, his family made it their mission to carry out his final wish regarding his ashes. His wife of 45 years, his only son, three stepchildren, and grandchildren survived him.
