Death of Pierre Deny: Muriel Robin, Corinne Touzet and Nathalie Marquay united for a final tribute in a theater before his burial

Pierre Deny left us at the age of 69 following a devastating ALS, better known as Charcot’s disease. On May 25, it was his loved ones who confirmed the sad news in a press release sent to AFP: “It is with deep emotion that we announce the disappearance of Pierre Deny which occurred this Monday following a ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis known as ‘Charcot disease’ editor’s note) is dazzling.” The news left millions of fans speechless who had adopted him over the years. Because Pierre Deny was above all an entire career dedicated to the French small screen. From A Woman of Honor, where he shared the bill with Corinne Touzet, to Tomorrow Belongs to Us, where he played Dr. Renaud Dumaze from 2017 to 2024 alongside Ingrid Chauvin and Luce Mouchel, or even in the Netflix phenomenon Emily in Paris, the actor had managed to establish himself as a familiar face and appreciated by the public.

The ultimate tribute to Pierre Deny in a Parisian theater

A few days after his disappearance, Pierre Deny was finally entitled to a goodbye at the height of his career. This Wednesday, June 3, family and friends gathered at the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell in Paris, a place full of memories, where he had played on several occasions, notably in Double Jeu alongside Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut, his partner Juliette Degenne and Charlotte Kady. Muriel Robin, Corinne Touzet, Linda Hardy and even Tex were also there to say goodbye. It was his two daughters, Alice and Juliette, who orchestrated this intimate and moving ceremony, as reported by Public. They also took the floor to pay tribute to the memory of their father: “After a life filled with love, laughter and precious moments, he will leave the memory of his gentleness, his humor and his generosity to all those who knew him. We thank you warmly for your thoughts and testimonials of friendship.”

Where will the actor be buried?

After this tribute paid at the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell this Wednesday, it’s time for the final farewell. According to our colleagues from Public, Pierre Deny will be buried this Friday, June 5 in a cemetery in the South of France. The exact location, however, remains secret, the family having wished to preserve the privacy of this painful moment. Only his loved ones and the people dearest to his heart will therefore be gathered to say goodbye to him one last time, far from the cameras and the spotlight. A ceremony which promises to be deeply moving for all those who loved him. Because since the announcement of his disappearance, the emotion has not subsided. His colleagues on the small screen were particularly numerous to publicly express their grief on social networks, testifying to the affection and respect that the actor inspired in the industry. There is no doubt that Pierre Deny will forever remain a man, but also an artist, deeply loved.
