Edinburgh, UK - Sir Sean Connery died at age 90 on Saturday morning. His wife, painter Micheline Roquebrune, has now revealed how poorly the James Bond actor had been feeling in the days and weeks preceding his passing.

Sean Connery passed away in the Bahamas on Saturday night, peacefully in his sleep. The actor, who was 90 at the time of his passing, had become a household name when he played James Bond in the 1960s and 70s.

In the wake of his death, Connery's wife, Micheline Roquebrune, has spoken out about the actor's final days, and what could be Sean Connery's last photos have emerged.

"It was no life for him," Roquebrune (91) told the Daily Mail. She explained that Connery "couldn't express himself latterly. He had dementia and it took its toll on him. He got his final wish to slip away without any fuss."

Roquebrune was married to the Oscar-winning actor for more than 45 years. They married in 1975 after meeting a few years prior during a golf tournament in Morocco.

Speaking of her late husband, it's clear that the loss is hard to bear: "He was a model of a man. It is going to be very hard without him, I know that."

Relatives and friends of the late Sean Connery have shared memories, images, and stories about the James Bond actor since he passed. Some of the images shared are thought to be the last photos ever taken of him.

Sean Connery became world-famous in the 1960s as James Bond and went on to star in many big Hollywood productions, including The Untouchables (1987), and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). He died in his sleep in his Bahamas residence.
