Mary Ann Schultz, a spokeswoman for Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, said he died in his sleep at the hospital at about 2:30 a.m. local time. Hyde succumbed to cardiac arrest after being admitted to the hospital on Nov. 25 for renal failure related to a heart condition, she said. He underwent open-heart bypass surgery in July.
