We learned last week that actor Luke Perry, best known for his roles on "
Riverdale" and "
Beverly Hills, 90210," was
hospitalized following a stroke. At the time, his spokesperson seemed to be downplaying the severity of his stroke. But then I noticed that "
US Weekly" was littered with memorial-style interviews with his various former "
90210" co-stars and I began worrying.
Sadly,
Luke Perry died passed away yesterday at the age of 52. He was surrounded by his close family members and friends at the time of his death.
The CW, "
Riverdale" executive directors and Warner Bros. have issued a joint statement following news of Perry's death:
Additionally, it was announced that "
Riverdale" has
temporarily shut down production.
