Heart Attack Killed Comedian Robin Harris

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said Monday that comedian Robin Harris, who was found dead in his Chicago hotel room March 17 after performing at a theater there, died of a heart attack.

Autopsy results right after his death were inconclusive. Medical examiner spokesman Bill Juneau said his office had awaited results of toxicological tests before announcing that Harris, 36, who portrayed Sweet Dick Willie in the film “Do the Right Thing,” had died of natural causes.

A featured comic at several Los Angeles nightclubs, Harris’ most recent picture was “Variations on the Mo’ Bettah Blues,” to be released later this year.
