Johnny Depp Mourns Death of 11-Year-OldPirates of The CaribbeanFan
Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean series is probably his most famous role. And following the death of Kori Stovell, one of his biggestPirates of the Caribbeanfans, who died at the age of 11 from an incurable heart condition, the actor took to Instagram stories to share his condolences.
He began: ‘Sail on my fellow Captain! You honored us with your life. You humbled and amazed us with the courage and strength to be able to smile through it all.
‘You’ve shown every one of us how to stay ahead of the curve with grace, humor, an incomprehensible understanding, and unparalleled dignity.
‘You are a warrior, mate…We will meet again on the highest of seas…All my love and respect to you and your family, as always!!! X JD.’
Kori Stovell was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which meant that the left side of his heart was underdeveloped. In 2018, he had a new heart implanted; however, the organ was rejected, and thus in January 2020, he underwent a second transplant.
The child’s mother shared the news of her little boy’s death in a video message on social media that she uploaded with a caption that read: ‘My precious boy set sail a little under an hour ago. I am beyond broken..’
One of Kori Stovell’s last wishes was to speak to his idol Captain Jack Sparrow – and the actor responded in December with the help of the charity Make-A-Wish.

Johnny Depp Returned as Captain Jack Sparrow for This Fan
As a “massive” Jack Sparrow fan, Kori Stovell frequently watched the movies “during his multiple heart surgeries and subsequent recovery periods,” a source told People at the time.
Last year, for a Make-a-Wish video, sent to this little fan, Johnny Depp dressed up as his iconicPirates of the Caribbeancharacter.
Johnny Depprecreated the eccentric pirate once more, decked out in full Jack Sparrow garb. “So, Capt. Kori, terribly sorry I missed out on this. Meant to say it, forgot to say it, didn’t say it, gonna say it now. Saying it, I’ll say it,” Depp said.
“I hear tell of something they speak about in the ages of now called the YouTube channel, which I don’t understand, but why not?”
“That, I think, will make for a wonderful entertainment expertise. A momentary lapse of togetherness, all together in one space but far apart, but then at the same time, woof, very close,” he says, gesturing broadly. “Curious, enduring, and strange.”
Depp concluded by wishing “Captain Kori” the best of luck and introducing himself as the young man’s biggest fan. The actor has been a longtime supporter of children’s hospitals all over the world and has worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for more than 30 years.
As the years evolve, Johnny Depp’s commitment to his fans stayed solid, cementing his position as an adored icon in the hearts of millions worldwide.
