yeh i didn't know either. but direct tv show like a mini imdb for movies that run. you can look up the cast and crew, and it gives birthdays for most people. and if someone is dead, they show when. so when i saw that i was like "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" and had to go wiki it. apparently he had complications from stomach cancer early that year and then one day had a stroke *because of the complications* and poof. no more :( i've seen a couple of his other films...he was a really good actor.
