Bruce Willis Family to Donate His Brain to Science

The family of Bruce Willis is preparing for his death and will donate his brain to science. The inner circle of the Hollywood icon, Bruce Willis, has turned this personal tragedy into a global contribution to science. After years of fighting frontotemporal dementia (FTD), his family has made the momentous decision to donate the actor's brain for post-mortem research, aiming to advance treatments and diagnostics. As explained by Emma Heming Willis during the promotion of her book 'The Unexpected Journey,' published on September 9, the family is aware that science needs more well-documented brains of patients with FTD. While this legacy of the celebrity is being planned, daily life around Bruce Willis has adapted to the progression of the dementia. Willis lives in an independent residence that is prepared to provide 24-hour intensive care.
