Exec dies at 50 on Hawaii holiday

Sitcom producer Aron Abrams, whose credits include Everybody Hates Chris and Third Rock From The Sun, has been found dead in a hotel room.

Police discovered the body of the 50-year-old in the Fairmont Orchid hotel in Hawaii on Christmas morning.

He had been on holiday with his wife, and police do not suspect foul play. A post-mortem will be conducted tomorrow.

Abrams also wrote for the animated series King Of The Hill, on which he was a consulting producer, and worked as a producer on family sitcom Ground For Life, which is currently being adapted by the BBC.
