Jan-Michael Vincent, 1980s TV heartthrob and star of Airwolf, has died.
The actor passed away last month, on February 10, after suffering a cardiac arrest at a North Carolina hospital. He was 74.
TMZ, who obtained the death certificate, reports that no autopsy was performed and the star was later cremated.

I didn’t even know he was still alive.
I remember he had a ton of health issues....
Poor fellow.
RIP.
I honestly thought he had died years ago of a drug overdose or something. I must have read more into that story than was there.
Yeah, he was in a ton of stuff. Damnation Alley was a cool movie at the time
He was in a near fatal car wreck, IIRC.................
OMG. Talk about taking a toll. He looks worse than 40 miles of bad road.
Such a prominent actor at one time to die in near-obscurity, we’re just hearing about it nearly a month after the fact. Really sad. The wording of the article makes it sound as if his third wife was supporting him, says he was “living with” her, in North Carolina apparently.
RIP, Jan-Michael Vincent.
You’d think residuals, royalties and a screen actors guild pension would have kept him in better stead, he has a huge untreated cataract in that photo. What the heck was going on? He should have had sufficient income to live comfortably, certainly in North Carolina if not California.
I always enjoyed him & Burt Reynolds in “Hooper”
I, too, was a regular viewer of Airwolf. Jan-Michael Vincent had quite a rough patch in his life.
My favorite w him was The Mechanic with Charles Bronson
RIP
Liked that show as a kid.
White Line Fever
Big Wednesday and Disney’s The Worlds Greatest Athlete
I remember him from “The Mechanic” with Charles Bronson.
Not too long ago there was a brief segment on the Rick & Morty cartoon about Jan Michael Vincent. It is NSFW violent and some bad language.
