'Police Academy' actor and NFL star Charles 'Bubba' Smith dies
Former NFL star and movie actor Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith has died, the Los Angeles Coroner's Chief of Forensic Examinations said.
Smith spent nine seasons in the NFL as a defensive end in the '60s and '70s. He's perhaps best known for his role as Moses Hightower in the "Police Academy" movies.
Police and fire officials were called to Smith's Baldwin Hils house after "he was found unresponsive," and pronounced him dead, said Ed Winter, assistant chief of operations and investigation for the coroner. The body will be taken to the coroner's office, where an autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death, Winter said.

When I read the word "bubba" died, I thought it was Bill Clinton.
Then I saw the big black guy....
Thanks for the entertainment. A guy I coulda used for a big brother. RIP.
No doubt, He was a hell of a star on and off the field, as well as the screen....
RIP
That's it? What kind of article is that? A skimpy two paragraph blurb?
You could read it twice. I'm just saying.
cnn please re-do your vidio policy no one wants a 30 sec commercial
That is all they could say about him?
You jerks could have given us a bit more information about this guy. I mean, what gives? I don't care about sports at all (I'm a writer and I focus on fiction) but jeez, yu bothered to mention him and then tell us nothing.
Go home.
Your a writer, but cant spell you ( yu). Get a job with fox news. Hahahaha
Dear 'slipery', I take it you are NOT a writer, otherwise, you would have spelled you're, not your.....
'Slipery', learn how to write if you're going to criticize others. Also, isn't your name supposed to be spelled "Slippery"? Huqued on fonix werckd 4 mi.
LOL a writer that can't spell, you just made an utter fool of yourself.
Slipery is a dip-poop. He can't spell either. "Your"
CNN, another incomplete article. Where do you get your reporters? (They aren't journalists!) Who's your editor in chief?
Censored by the Communist News Network aka CNN.........quit complaining about the restiction of news comrades
Your statement shows how ignorant you are of both journalism and communism. Since you accused CNN of being Communist, how about giving us one concrete example – not a bunch of generalities – giving time and date and headline – when CNN advocated 1. government ownership of all means of production and raw materials 2. all workers being paid the same wage. Or admit you do not know what you are writing about. Or are you just parroting what Fox News told you to say?
No doubt a great actor/Athlete. RIP
"A great actor"???? Lets not get carried away.
lost in the endless drama of the debt-ceiling negotiations, but last week, the Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives launched an unprecedented attack on the U.S.'s environmental protections. GOP Representatives added rider after rider to the 2012 spending bill for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department, tacking on amendments that would essentially prevent those agencies — charged with protecting America's air, water and wildlife — from doing their jobs.
So sad for his family, my prayers are with them for Peace. You'll be missed....
Geez if you would actually read and process the words in the article you can deduce that 1. Bubba Smith has passed away, and 2. They don't know anything else at this time. Happens all the time–stay tuned, you short attention apan ADHD millenials...
rest in Gods hands you gential giant, with much love.
Hey, will you guys visit HelpFaye.ORG , a friend of mine with 2 babies is fighting for her life... Thank you
Verizon's homepage had a better writeup than this one. Sucks that he's gone because of the B-more football love, and Police Academy flicks.
