What happened to Val Kilmer?
First, Val Kilmer is alive and strong. According to the New York Times, the 64-year-old was battling with a persistent cough that was eventually diagnosed as cancer of the throat.
Due to this, he had to undergo tracheostomy surgery, where a windpipe opening was created for him to enhance his breathing. This was a sad moment for the actor and his fans as well.
