Former UNC President Bill Friday says Andy Griffith died this morning in Dare County. Friday, who is a close friend of the actor, confirmed that to WITN News.

Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie confirms to WITN News that an ambulance went to Andy Griffith's home at 7 a.m. this morning.

The sheriff says he is checking to get more information on the condition of the person who the ambulance was called for.

The 86-year-old Griffith lives on Roanoke Island, not far from the Lost Colony, a play he performed in right after high school.

Griffith was born in Mount Airy, and is most known for his role as "Andy Taylor" from 1960 to 1968.

Rest in peace Andy.

I read this on FB from a local tv station. They could be wrong too, I guess.

Years ago, before I found out his Democrat proclivities, I’d have expressed condolences. I will not, however, now.

Well, I used to have a soft spot for “Sheriff Taylor”, but after the Obamacare debacle was passed with Andy Griffith leading the cheering for it, I saw a different person.

Griffith was a total communist and hated this country. He was a bitter resentful person as Libs usually are.

He was wasting air that someone else deserved.

I won’t miss him in the least.

I don’t care if he was a Lib. He was a great talent and will be remembered so. RIP

I cannot mourn this man, he was far too committed a leftist.

Okay, so he's dead. Next.

The man was 86 years old and lived a long life few could imagine.

Good for him.
