Comedian John Pinette Dead; ‘Seinfeld’ Actor Dies In Hotel Room

John Pinette was known for the guy who got mugged in the Seinfeld finale. He was 50.

The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office says Pinette died in his Sheraton Hotel room around 2:30 PM … and foul play is NOT suspected.

According to reports … the medical examiner did not perform an autopsy because Pinette’s personal physician said the actor had been suffering from liver and heart disease.
