His daughter says his family are "heartbroken".

He found international fame on the hugely popular cartoon series about a group of crime-solving teenagers and their dog, playing the comedically cowardly Shaggy.

He also hosted 'America's Top 10', counting down the most popular videos in the US charts, during the 1980s.
