Prayers to his family.

Eric Douglas, a sometime actor/comic and more frequent defendant, was found lying dead on the living room floor of a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon, New York City Police said.

There were no signs of foul play, police spokeswoman Jennara Everleth said. But per standard procedure, the case was being treated as homicide pending the findings from the medical examiner, she said.

Police were called to the scene at 1:14 p.m. An unidentified caller alerted authorities to an "unconscious male." Douglas was declared dead on arrival by police.

Last year, Daily Variety's Army Archerd reported that Eric Douglas coped with "severe disabilities" and was "unable to work" as the result of an apparent prescription-drug-induced cardiac arrest in 1999.

Eric Douglas, who turned 46 last month, was Kirk Douglas' second son by his second wife, the former Anne Buydens, and the Hollywood icon's fourth child overall.

Eric Douglas was half-brother to Oscar-winning actor/producer Michael Douglas (news), and uncle to Cameron Douglas, Michael's deejay turned actor son.

Besides obvious disabilities from his stroke, I believe Kirk is still fully-functioning (he still works).

As such, I don't think there's any way Kirk could not know about his son's death.

I've never heard of him, but that's so sad.
