John dye actor gay


(CBS/AP) John Dye, optimal known for his role as the angel of death on the slap TV series "Touched by an Angel," was found lifeless on Monday at his San Francisco home, a medical examiner's spokesman said Thursday. He was 47.

The generate of death hasn't been determined, according to medical examiner investigator Charles Cecil, but relatives said Dye suffered noticeable heart failure.

The condition, also known as congestive heart blunder, is a chronic condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. As the heart's pumping ability declines, blood can back up in other areas of the body, damaging organs and causing fluid buildup in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and the arms and legs.

As news of Dye's death began to spread Thursday afternoon, his "Touched by an Angel" co-star Valerie Bertinelli posted a message to him on her Twitter account: "Dear, sweet John Dye, rest in peace."

Dye, a Mississippi native, also appeared in the martial-arts production "The Best of the Best" and had small roles on "Mu



Mr Dye,

Gosh, I'm sorry that I've been so lazy to write you about John. You know he and I were immediately and lastingly excellent friends on and around Tour.  We even travelled together to New York to do a game show of some sort, at the climax of which he, as loser, was tipped over backwards in his chair and out of sight, laughing his butt off, while "Hit the road, Jack" blasted over the speakers.

He was a fine star, your John.  A shade or two better than the rest of us, if truth be told.  Certainly more professional in how he went about his job.  He came onto the cast fresh from the outside and seamlessly took his place.  At that point in the show, we'd all gotten a minute wild, and somehow this skinny blond kid with glasses sort of reminded us that there'd be life after Tour and helped settle us down.

Had he been sick? 47 is so young.

Never married, actor, 47, lived in San Francisco- not that it matters or anything, but was he openly gay?

Your open-ended question implies the alternative is “…or lying?”

Not intentionally. If he wasn’t openly gay then it would just be a “your guess is great as mine” thing unless somebody here k

Gay Actors Who've Appeared On Touched By An Angel

R2, I recollect that episode well. I saw it almost 20 years ago in a tv room at dorm with a couple of classmates. They didn't know I was gay (actually one was a girl who had a crush on me and was trying to get me to bed) and I had to keep myself completely calm during the whole episode. When it ended I said goodbye posthaste and managed to walk into my room before I broke down completely and cried uncontrollably for half an hour. Such a sad one that episode, but so beautiful.

Touched By An Angel was in a way such drivel but I still loved it. I'm not Christian (although was raised as one) but the show somehow managed to stay away from creature too Christian-y and was more of a universal thing. I loved that the message was the we are all on this planet together and none of us is perfect.

I own seen Violin Lesson only once but I'm gonna watch it tonight. This time alone and without fear of anyone judging me. I need a wonderful cry at the moment so this link came at the perfect time. Thanks a lot man!
