Andrew Dunbar, a frequent extra on the hit series Game of Thrones, sadly passed away on Christmas Eve, but the internet keeps using a photo of the wrong Andrew Dunbar while reporting the news.

There’s another Andrew Dunbar who is an actor and he was photographed by Getty Images just three and a half weeks ago. That photo, which can be seen here, keeps being used in articles online.

The Andrew pictured here, who is still alive, has been seen in several movies for the Hallmark Channel and he also appeared on the network’s series When Calls the Heart. Fans have been flooding his Instagram comments with messages of condolences and they’ve been mourning his “death.”

Andrew Dunbar, best known as a frequent extra on Game of Thrones, died suddenly on Christmas Eve.

The actor passed away on Tuesday (December 24) at his home in East Belfast, Ireland.

Andrew was a double for Alfie Allen‘s character Theon Greyjoy and he was also in many scenes as an extra.

Andy McClay, who is arguably the most well-known extra on Game of Thrones after a profile in the documentary The Last Watch, mourned the loss of his friend in a statement to Belfast Live.

“Everyone always wanted Andrew. There was just something about him that was special. People always felt good around him, happy, excited for the day’s work and there was always a lot of fun when he was around,” he said. “When I heard he’d died suddenly on Christmas Eve, it just broke me. I’ll never make any sense of it. He was a true person, a talent, kind and decent man and he had a full and good heart. I’ve cried and cried since I heard – my friend is gone and my heart is broken.”

We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to Andrew‘s loved ones during this difficult time.
