Actor David Soul, best known for his role in the television series Starsky & Hutch, has died at the age of 80.
His wife, Helen Snell said he died on Thursday "after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family".
"He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend," she said.
"His smile, laughter and passion for life will be remembered by the many whose lives he has touched."
The US-born actor was best known for his role as Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson in the classic crime-solving series Starsky & Hutch.
He starred opposite Paul Michael Glaser in the series, which ran from 1975 to 1979. He and Glaser reprised their roles in the 2004 remake Starsky & Hutch, starring Ben Stiller as Starsky and Owen Wilson as Hutch.
Stiller paid tribute to Soul by reposting a clip from the original TV series on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by the message: "Defining 70's cool. Rest in peace x."
