According to CBS News, the "F Troop" star died in his New York City apartment early Friday. His manager, Matt Beckoff, confirmed the tragic news.
The actor's cause of death is due to "natural causes." A post on his official Facebook account also confirmed his passing, saying he died in his sleep overnight.
"We are shocked and at a loss for words at the moment. Please remember he loved each and every one of you and wouldn't want you to cry over his passing. He is reunited with his wife Norma and his beloved F Troop cast and so many friends and family," the statement reads.
Storch's most notable role throughout his decades-long career was the character of Corporal Randolph Agarn on "F Troop."
