NEW YORK — The son of legendary New York City mobster Mickey Spillane has died after tumbling out the window of his sixth-floor apartment.
Police say actor and playwright Robert Spillane fell from his midtown Manhattan apartment Saturday morning. No criminality was suspected in his death.
Spillane's uncle, James McManus, calls it a "terribly sad accident."
McManus says Spillane was leaning against a screen when it gave way and he fell through the open window. He says one of Spillane's arms was in a sling.
Police could not confirm any details.
The 45-year-old had roles on TV's "Rescue Me" and "Law & Order." He wrote an Off-Broadway play about a cross-dressing gangster.
His father was gunned down in 1977.
