Cindy Morgan, best known for her roles in Caddyshack and Throne early 1980s, died. She was 69 years old.
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office told PEOPLE that Morgan’s body was discovered at her Lake Worth Beach, Florida home on Dec. 30 after her roommate called police.
Morgan’s roommate, who had just returned home after being away for the holidays, knocked on Morgan’s bedroom door and got no answer that day. However, she smelled a “stench” coming from the bedroom, so she called police to investigate, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office’s public information office told PEOPLE.
Foul play is not suspected, and Morgan is believed to have died of natural causes before police discovered her body on Dec. 30, the sheriff’s office said. She was last seen alive on December 19.
