Rodney Dangerfield, the bug-eyed comic best remembered in the sports world for the hilarious 1980 film "Caddyshack," in which he held his own with such comics as Chevy Chase, Ted Knight and Bill Murray, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m., said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve replaced Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center.
