LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Robert Stack, whose granite-eyed stare
and menacing baritone spelled trouble for fictional criminals in TV's
"The Untouchables" and real ones in "Unsolved Mysteries," died at his
home. He was 84.

Stack's wife Rosemarie found him slumped over in the couple's Los Angeles
home about 5 p.m. Wednesday. The actor underwent radiation treatment for
prostate cancer in October, but his wife said he died of heart failure.

Although he had a lengthy film career beginning in 1939 with "First
Love," Stack's greatest fame came with the 1959-63 TV drama "The
Untouchables," in which he played Chicago crimebuster Eliot Ness and won
a best actor Emmy.
