"When she entered, she discovered him lying on the kitchen floor. She proceeded to call 911 although his body was cold and lifeless," Baronas said.

"From what I currently understand, no investigation into the cause of his death will be made as his body was sent directly to a funeral home," he said.

Lynch's latest role was in the 2012 horror film,"The Lords of Salem," directed by Rob Zombie.

Zombie expressed sorrow at the news of Lynch's death, writing on his Facebook page, "I woke up this morning to the news that our friend Richard Lynch has passed away. Richard was great to work with and really gave it his all. I will never forget the way he scared the crap out of the kid actors in Halloween. As soon as I said action! He dove right into his role of Principle Chambers at top volume. He will be missed."
