Sid Haig, a veteran actor likely best known for his role in Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses, died on Saturday after being involved in sort sort of accident.
He was 80 years old.
The very sad news was shared online by Sid’s wife, Suzie, who wrote the following as confirmation:

"He has returned to the Universe, a shining star in her heavens. He was my angel, my husband, my best friend and always will be.
"He adored his family, his friends and his fans. This came as a shock to all of us. We, as a family, are asking that our privacy and time to mourn be respected."
