After three decades as an independent producer of TV shows, Cannell in recent years had focused his attention to writing crime novels, and had published 16, including the Shane Scully series and several stand-alones.
As an actor, he had a recurring role on ABC-TV's series, "Castle."
Very sad.

Not another one. I feel more personal about his death because I remember him from Left Coast Crimes. He spoke about being dyslexic and how he overcame it. We need some good news.
I never even met him, and I feel so bad about his loss. His death truly is a loss to all of us who loved his work - TV or fiction.
He was at LCC, very vibrant,lots to share.
So very sad. I greatly enjoyed seeing him when he'd show up on Castle, and from watching the extras on the dvd, I learned he was behind The Rockford Files. I promptly rented several seasons from Netflix, and thoroughly enjoyed the show. I read a while ago that he had suffered a terrible tragedy years ago when his son died.
