Chuck Norris, the celebrated martial artist and actor who anchored Walker, Texas Ranger, has died at 86. His family confirmed the news on Friday, shortly after reports emerged that he had suffered a medical emergency in Hawaii.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours after US entertainment outlet TMZ reported the action star had been hospitalised in Kauai. Relatives have not disclosed a specific cause of death, though they noted he died peacefully and was surrounded by his family.
