According to reports, Seidler died on March 16, local time, during a fishing trip in New Zealand. His agent said: "David was in his favorite place (New Zealand), doing his favorite fly fishing. If He had the opportunity to write his own death, and that's how his script would be written."

Seidler won the 2011 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "The King's Speech".

Seidler's biological parents were killed during the Holocaust. He spent his childhood in London and later moved to New York, USA. Because he had a severe stutter and was very introverted in his teenage years, these personal experiences became his creative wealth. For example, in "The King's Speech", the section about George VI's stuttering correction included Sadler, which was integrated into Sadler's personal experience. .

Sadler's main screenwriting works also include "The Pioneer" (1988), "Stage Love" (1999), "The King and I" (1999), "The Legend of White Crane Kung Fu" (2008), etc.
