According to The Hollywood Reporter, no further information about his death has been provided. “We’ve lost a legend. Bell told THR, “He will be deeply missed.”
“He has left us with incredible memories of his laughter, dynamic acting abilities, and, most importantly, his huge personality and golden heart.
