‘Seinfeld’ actor Charles Levin found dead in Oregon
On July 8, the son of actor Charles Levin contacted authorities in Oregon to report that he hadn’t heard from his 70-year-old dad for several days. The dutiful son informed police that his father was in the process of moving residences when he suddenly dropped out of sight. On July 14, police in Oregon reported that they believe they have recovered the remains of the actor who appeared in popular films and television shows like “Seinfeld” and “LA Law.”
This past week, the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety had been searching for Levin in cooperation with the Josephine County Sheriff ‘s Search and Rescue Unit and the Oregon State Police. “He owned an orange 2012 Fiat and was ‘almost always in the company of his fawn-colored pug dog, Boo Boo Bear,’” according to CBS News.
Around 8 p.m. the next day, a local Illinois Valley resident found Charles Levin’s car in a very remote and almost impassible road. Troopers from the Oregon State Police responded and were escorted to the car by the individual who found it. Levin’s car was off the roadway and was disabled due to terrain.
Inside Charles Levin’s car, Troopers located Levin’s Pug dog Boo Bear deceased. Levin was not in his car, or in the immediate proximity of his vehicle. Josephine County Search and Rescue responded to the area again, along with investigators from GPDPS. Assisted by the responding Troopers, personnel conducted a grid search of the very steep and rugged terrain. After several hours of searching, human remains were located. Based on the circumstances, there is a high probability that the remains are those of Charles Levin. The final identification of the remains will be completed by the Medical Examiner.
Levin also made appearances in the TV shows “Alice,” “The Golden Girls,” “NYPD Blue” and “Hill Street Blues,” as well as films like “The Golden Child,” ″Annie Hall” and “This is Spinal Tap.”
