I'd heard he wasn't in the best of health, but this is still terrible news.
He was one of acting's true originals, and a very good director who didn't practice that area of his talents nearly enough.

Prisoner star McGoohan dies at 80
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Prisoner star McGoohan dies at 80
McGoohan wrote and starred in The Prisoner from 1967
Emmy-winning actor Patrick McGoohan, best known for starring in cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.
He died in Los Angeles after a short illness, his film producer son-in-law Cleve Landsberg said.
McGoohan played the character Six in the surreal 1960s show, filmed in the north Wales village of Portmeirion.
He won two Emmy awards for his work on TV detective series Columbo, playing different characters.
'I am a free man'
The first came for an episode of the series in 1974, with another 16 years later.
In more recent years, McGoohan played King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 Mel Gibson film Braveheart.
The actor, who was born in New York and raised in England and Ireland, came to screen prominence in TV series Danger Man, in which he played a secret service agent.
He was later considered for the role of James Bond for the movie Dr No.
But McGoohan was chiefly associated with cult ITV drama The Prisoner, writing some of the episodes himself under a different name.
His character spent the entire time attempting to escape from The Village and finding out the identity of his captor, the elusive Number One.
He repeatedly declared: "I am not a number - I am a free man!"
In 2000, McGoohan reprised his most famous role in an episode of The Simpsons.
McGoohan's last role came in 2002, as a voice artist in animated picture Treasure Planet.

Shocking news - I've been reading the book that accompanies the Network DVD set again recently and was only thinking last night how well he seemed to be doing.
A true legend. R.I.P.

Just saluted the great man with a large balloon of our finest cognac whilst watching FALL OUT for the umpteenth time.
I can truly say we shall never see his like again.
This is such a black day...

Very sad news indeed. He was a unique, a one-off. Fortunately he left us fine performances to run and re-run.
Goodbye Pat.
