Despite his career success as an actor, he was unsuccessful in his personal life and had to sell his Silver Bear Award in order to bear the financial problems which troubled his family. He was forced to sell his award worth €4.000 to feed his children. After a harrowing descent into extreme poverty, he died as a result of the mental stress when he was 47 years old. The 68th Berlin International Film Festival paid tribute and condolences following his death.
