how did andre die gen v

Andre Anderson died from severe brain damage caused by a stroke during a daring escape attempt from the Elmira facility in Gen V Season 2. He tried to use his magnetic powers to free his friends by moving exposed metal pipes and later a huge steel door, but overexerting himself triggered a catastrophic stroke linked to a neural condition called Neural Micro-Tears, the same condition that affected his father Polarity. His sacrifice allowed his friends Jordan and Emma to escape, and the show honors his death as a heroic and selfless act, serving as a tribute to the late actor Chance Perdomo who portrayed Andre Anderson and passed away in real life before Season 2 filming.
