Duress, who starred alongside Robert Pattinson in the acclaimed film Good Time, succumbed to a ‘cardiac arrest from a drug cocktail’ in November 2023, according to his brother, Christopher Stathis, as reported by People.
His acting career began with a notable role in the 2014 film Heaven Knows What, directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, shortly after his release from Rikers Island following a drug-related conviction.
Throughout his life, Duress faced recurring legal issues, including multiple stints in jail for charges such as identity theft, grand larceny, and heroin possession. Despite his tumultuous personal struggles, he leaves behind his mother Jo-Anne and younger brother Christopher.
Born Michael C. Stathis in Queens, New York, in May 1985, Duress attended Robert Louis Stevenson High School in Manhattan. Following his breakthrough in Heaven Knows What, he reunited with the Safdie brothers in the 2017 film Good Time, where he portrayed a drug dealer alongside Pattinson’s character.
In addition to his notable roles, Duress appeared in various other film projects, including Person to Person, Funny Pages, Flinch, Beware of Dog, and The Mountain. He also had two upcoming projects, Skull and Mass State Lottery, scheduled for release later this year, according to his IMDb page.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
