"90210" Actor Found Dead

Posted Apr 9th 2008 4:14PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: According to Kamel's rep, the actor had a heart attack.

Actor Stanley Kamel was found dead in his Hollywood home.

Kamel, who had been starring on "Monk," also played mafioso Tony Marchette, the father of Rebecca Gayheart's character Antonia, on "90210." He ordered a hit to be put out on Dylan, but ended up killing his daughter instead.

L.A. Fire officials tell TMZ they responded to a 911 call from Kamel's Hollywood Hills home yesterday just before 4:00 PM. They tell us their investigation is still "incomplete."

A cause of death at this time is unknown, but the L.A. County Coroner tells us they don't have the case. According to AccessHollywood.com, the actor was found by his longtime agents.

32. To B.D. and "Structure matters"...

When you die, nobody in your miserable existence will care; It will simply go unnoticed!!

How's that for "First" or your worthless post?

The entertainment industry lost another talented actor! My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

41. This is such a shame. I thought he was charismatic on Melrose (what a shocking last scene!) and I LOVE him on Monk. I agree with other commenters that it will be hard to replace him there. I also have to say that my husband and I had remarked that he had looked ill the last year--with a puffy face that you get from taking certain medications. Did this have something to do with his death? Of course, it is none of our business, but I hope he didn't suffer a prolonged illness. Rest in peace.

43. Horrible, tragic news. I loved his character on Monk! I will miss him.

May he rest in peace. How very, very sad.

God speed.

44. Monk will not be the same without him. I hope they do not recast the part. RIP Stanley.

Posted at 7:56PM on Apr 9th 2008 by RIP Dr.Kroger

45. How terrible and unexpected.

I bet he'd smile in heaven if I said, "wait till monk hears about this."
