'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.

L O L
His age?
Teams he played for?
etc
etc???
I have fond memories of hearing 75,000 in Spartan Stadium chanting "kill, Bubba, kill!"
Why, CNN, are you not posting any meatier blogs? I like talking about the skinny socialist in the White House, come on now, CNN! RIP Bubba
Only a feral minded moron would politicize a death...You are an absolute idiot...But then again, you're from Arizona so that actually explains a lot.
Bubba. You are missed. Great guy, great football player, great human being.
it is well known that tall people tend to have shorter live spans.
It is well known that uneducated people don't know the difference between live and life (i.e. life spans).
Even more educated people realize this is just an internet blog and it doesn't really matter. Accidents do happpen.
How old was he? When was he last heard from? Why did CNN treat this story differently than any other actor's death?
Yeah, seriously. Recap this wonderful man's life CNN, you d0uchebags.
Peace be with all affected by his passing. Thanks for some great memories!!
RIP Bubba....Will never forget Mahoney teaching you to drive and you ripping out the back seat just to fit in the car!!! CLASSIC!!
A soft-spoken icon from my childhood. Bubba will be sorely missed by me as you are an indelible part of my memories. My sincere condolences to his family, who I am sure are heartbroken, yet beautiful people. Rest In peace Big Guy. 😥
My favorite Bubba line (from some lame sitcom starring he and Dick Butkus – last maybe 5-6 episodes)
"Hey ... people CAN change! I used to be a skinny little white guy from Switzerland."
No bio, no nothing! good reporting CNN! This sucks!
Being child of the 60's & 70's I remember Bubba Smith best from his time playing for the Baltimore Colts. I'm very sorry for his loss & hope his family will be able to gain solace from fond memories of good times together. Rest in peace, Bubba.
The man period. Look gut
What a great lost to all. RIP Bubba
