Jay Leggett, actor/comedian, dies at hunting cabin TOMAHAWK, Wis., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Jay Leggett, an actor and comedian who was on "In Living Color" and "NYPD Blue" died Sunday at a hunting cabin in his native Wisconsin, family said. He was 50. Leggett was at his family's hunting cabin in Tomahawk, Wis., for the opening of deer hunting season when he collapsed, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Family members and paramedics attempted to revive him to no avail and he was pronounced dead at the scene. No cause for his death was released. Leggett was a noted hunter and sportsmen who once produced a documentary about hunting in his native Lincoln County called "To The Hunt." Family members told the newspaper he had only missed two opening days since he was 12 -- once to participate in a statewide high school theater competition and again as an adult when he was directing a play in London. If comments in a 2010 interview are an indication, Leggett, who was at his family's remote cabin nestled on 360 acres of land in rural west Lincoln County, was doing what he loved most when he died. "It's my favorite place on Earth," Leggett said of his hunting grounds in Tomahawk while he was back in the area for the premiere of "To the Hunt." Leggett appeared in 26 episodes of "In Living Color" from 1993 to 2001 and followed it up with a guest spot on "NYPD Blue" in 2002. Funeral arrangements were not reported.
