Illi Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Dick Clark Dead at 82 'Massive Heart Attack' Exclusive Dick Clark -- famed TV producer, and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host -- died from a massive heart attack this morning ... TMZ has learned. Clark's rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had been in St. John's hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient procedure last night. Clark suffered the "massive" heart attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Clark was 82. Clark's health had been on the decline since he suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Years' Rockin' Eve," which he created in 1972. Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006. Dick has appeared on the show sporadically ever since. Before suffering a stroke, Clark told Larry King he also suffered from Type 2 diabetes. Clark was married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton. "For now, Dick Clark ... so long." http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/18/dick-clark-dead-heart-attack/#.T48cKS-afew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illi Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I seemed like one of those character who people thought could never die. That's how vibrant he was and that's what made it shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
