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.
No autopsy was performed and the star was later cremated, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.
The Denver born star had many screen credits to his name, with his career spanning back to the late 1960s.
His last role was in the 2002 independent drama White Boy.
But it was his role as helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke in Airwolf - after an acclaimed performance in the 1983 television miniseries The Winds of War - that made him a star.

Yikes.
Cue up the Kieth Richards meme!
Sometimes when a person thinks that their success has come to easy they fall into a self loathing guilt angst that expresses itself as self destructive behavior.
How’s that for some psyco-babble?
He could have. Sad, I loved the show. He had some serious anger issues. Got into trouble all the time over it.
First saw him in “The Worlds Greatest Athlete”.
A film that could not be made today. Tim Conway was a riot.
RIP Stringfellow Hawke
As good as any other explanation.
Wow!
Today it wouldn’t have mattered.
Jamie Lee Curtis died in a Halloween series a long time ago but was back last year :)
I was young but it was like watching a train wreck.
I have known people who are just middle class guys destroy their lives.
We never know what exists in the heart and mind of any individual. Not 100 percent at least.
I would guess self destructive may be linked to self loathing a bit.
But what do i know.
So Sad!!!
“he’s died about a dozen times on FR alone.”
You know what? They always do because everyone uses a different site.
Is okay because others may have missed that story so just let it go.
