John Ashton, known in part for his role as Taggart in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, has passed away. He was 76 years old.
TMZ reports that John Ashton “died peacefully” at his Ft. Collins, Colorado home on Thursday, but the news has only broken this evening. He had been living with cancer, which is said to have contributed to his death. The actor’s family has requested that donations are made in Ashton’s memory to Pathways Hospice Care. Ashton’s rep, Alan Somers, also shared a statement confirming his death.
“John leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and service,” Somers said. “His memory will forever be treasured by his wife, children, grandchildren, as well as his brother, sisters, his extended family and all who loved him. John’s impact on the world will be remembered and celebrated for generations to come.”
