After years of rumors and false reports, Abe Vigoda died at the age of 94.

Character Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunken-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series "Barney Miller" and the doomed Mafia soldier in "The Godfather," died Tuesday at age 94.

Vigoda's daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told The Associated Press that Vigoda died Tuesday morning in his sleep at Fuchs' home in Woodland Park, New Jersey. The cause of death was old age. "This man was never sick," Fuchs said.

Obligatory Colin Mochrie hoedown verse:

I once saw a cop show, it really made me mad
The acting, it was horrible, the writing, it was bad
The more that I watched it, the more it was the pits
It had Abe Vigoda and Erik Estrada, it was called Fish and CHiPs!

RIP, Abe.

BL.

Ha... that was good!

RIP Abe...... Man for some reason I thought he had already past. Heck he looked all of 94 in Barney Miller!

He did live a very long life though! 94! Good for him.

Barney Miller was one of the best sitcoms ever. RIP Abe, thanks for the laughs.

Stolen from Twitter:

In his last act of selflessness, Vigoda will be donating his ear hair to Locks of Love.
