Actor Peter Falk Dies

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.
