Actor Peter Falk -- star of the TV show "Columbo" --  died last night at the age of 83 at his home in Beverly Hills.  Family members have declined to discuss the cause of death.
The actor had been suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to  his adopted daughter, Catherine Falk.
In 2009, a judge established a conservatorship for the ailing actor after a  court battle between Catherine and wife of more than 30 years, Shera  Falk.
Falk won four Emmys for his starring role in the television  detective series, "Columbo." He also received Academy Award nominations for  movies in 1959 and 1960.
