Emmy-winning actor Andre Braugher died from lung cancer, a representative has said.

When Braugher, who starred in the series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Homicide: Life On The Street, died on Monday aged 61, his representatives said only that he had been through a brief illness, but his publicist Jennifer Allen gave the cause on Thursday.
