Comedy actor, writer and director Harold Ramis, who first found fame in Ghostbusters, has died aged 69.
Mr Ramis died on Monday in Chicago surrounded by his family. He had been suffering from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis – or swelling of the blood vessels – for the last four years.
The filmmaker wrote, directed and starred in some of the best-loved comedies of the 1980s and 1990s, including Caddyshack, Groundhog Day and Analyze This.
More recently, he made a cameo as Seth Rogen’s father in Knocked Up, and directed several episodes of US-television series The Office.
