HOLLYWOOD - Actor Stanley Kamel has been found dead of a suspected heart attack.
The 65-year-old was reportedly discovered by his longtime agents in his Hollywood Hills home on Tuesday afternoon.
Los Angeles emergency services responded to a 911 call made at Kamel's home shortly before 4 p.m.
Kamel is best known for starring in numerous TV shows like The West Wing, Six Feet Under and Beverly Hills, 90210.
