Yahoo! reports that Soul’s wife, Helen Snell, released a statement on January 5, 2024 confirming the death of her husband. She wrote in the statement, “David Soul – beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother – died yesterday (4 January) after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family.”

Snell went on to praise her late husband for his many talents. She explained, “He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend. His smile, laughter and passion for life will be remembered by the many whose lives he has touched.”

 

Soul’s acting career began when he was 24 years old. He joined a musical revue in North Dakota, and a talent scout noticed him. He signed a studio contract and began his career in Hollywood. You can relive some of his most memorable moments in “Starsky and Hutch” in the video below.

Soul’s fifth and final marriage was to Snell. They got married in 2010 and remained married until he d**d. They did not have any children together. Soul was 80 years old at the time of his d**th, and Snell did not include a cause of d**th in her statement; however, according to The Washington Post, in recent years, he fought both lung ca**er and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is survived by Snell and his children.
