Both The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm Ltd. noted the response and on August 20, Rogue One director Gareth Edwards screened for Neil the film at St. Michaels Hospice, England (the hospital where he was admitted), thus making Neil the first person to ever see the film in the world. Two days later, Neil passed away on St. Michaels at age 36. His wife and family received many sympathetic messages after his death, thanking all ones who supported the campaign. Neil's family have set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for St. Michaels since that.
