So sad. Columbo was one of the truly great detectives, and I always loved seeing how Falk brought him to life. A shame to see him go like this.Peter Falk, the American actor most famous for his role as TV's scruffy detective, Columbo, has died at the age of 83.
The actor died peacefully at home in Beverly Hills on Thursday night, his family said in a statement.
He had been suffering from dementia for a number of years.

Re: Peter Falk dies
Falk was also largely overlooked for his more slapstick side. RIP.

It was a small role, but his 'Princess Bride' performance was fantastic...
