Yes.

(February 24, 1921 – January 26, 2016)

Obituaries: NYT, Reuters.

Best known for his roles in "The Godfather" and seventies TV sitcom "Barney Miller," Abe Vigoda died at the age of 94 today. For the past few decades, Mr. Vigoda has been a sort of living internet meme about death, thanks to isabevigodadead.com. It's sad to see that website finally load the result, "Yes."

Vigoda's daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told Reuters that her father died at her home in New Jersey. "He died in his sleep, of natural causes. He was not sick," she said.
