Darren’s cause of death remains unknown a the time of writing, but the actor’s son, Jim Moret, reportedly told TMZ that his father was having heart issues and was a patient at Cedars-Sinai’s cardiac unit.
It’s believed that Darren had initially gone to hospital for an aortic valve replacement, only to be judged too weak to safely undergo the procedure.
He was subsequently sent home but returned to hospital a short time later.
