Andy (Andrew) Hallett, aka Lorne in Angel, has died from heart failure.  Hallett passed away at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five year battle with heart disease – his father was by his side.  He was only 33 years old.

Hallett first appeared in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1999 before going on to star in 76 episodes of Buffy spinoff series Angel.

Since working on Angel, Hallet has been building a music career and playing gigs around the US.

Family and close friends are expected to attend a private funeral service this weekend.
