Robert Redford did not have any reported disease at the time of his death in 2025. However, as a child, he had a mild case of polio at age 11, which did not cause him significant harm. There were no public reports of illness or health setbacks before his passing, which occurred peacefully in his sleep at his home at age 89. It is important to distinguish that some health conditions related to liver disease and bile duct cancer were applicable to his late son, James Redford, who died in 2020 from bile-duct cancer and had undergone liver transplants previously. Robert Redford himself had no known disease diagnosis shared publicly near the end of his life.
