"Harry Potter" Actor David Legeno Dies Hiking in Death Valley

British actor David Legeno, most known for his portrayal of a villainous werewolf in three of the "Harry Potter" movies, has died, his manager Rick Bassman told NBC News.

Legeno's body was discovered in a remote wash below Manly Beacon in California's Death Valley on Friday morning, the Inyo County Sheriff's Department told NBC News. Legeno, 50, was first found by two hikers at 7 a.m. Deputies used a helicopter to retrieve and transport Legeno.


"It appears that Legeno died of heat related issues, but the Inyo County Coroner will determine the final cause of death," a Sheriff's Department press release states. "There are no signs of foul play."


Legeno, who was born in London, most recently appeared on "Snow White and the Huntsmen." His manager told NBC News he was not aware of Legeno's hiking trip but "he was an adventurer. He was always off doing crazy things."

"He was one of the good ones in a field that doesn't have that many," Bassman said.

A mixed martial arts expert, Legeno was also a professional wrestler whose nickname was "The Enforcer." His first movie role was in "Snatch."

Glee star Becca Tobin is mourning the sudden and tragic loss of her boyfriend Matt Bendik, who was found dead at age 35 in a Pennsylvania hotel room Thursday. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner would only confirm to TMZ that Bendik's body had been found; his cause is death is currently unknown. It's also unclear where Tobin was when Bendik's body was discovered; E! News has reached out to her rep.

The Philadelphia Police Department is calling Bendik's passing a "sudden death," and investigators tell TMZ that there is no reason to believe foul play is involved. No evidence suggests he committed suicide.

Tobin, who plays Kitty Wilde on the Fox series, was accompanying Bendik on his business trip in the city. According to TMZ, they spent Wednesday night out on the town friends, and everything seemed normal.

"Matt was in Philly for business. No one knows what happened as of right now," a source tells E! News of Bendik, who ran popular L.A. nightclubs, including DBA and AV. "It is extremely sad and tragic. He was such an amazing guy. He was so in love with Becca—they did everything together. They were so in love."


Celebrity-friendly hotspot DBA posted a tribute to its deceased owner on a notice board outside the club on Thursday night. The simple message read, "We love you Matt."
