C.W. Morgan, who played Billy Loomis's father in Scream, has died aged 72. Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records reviewed by entertainment publications list his date of death as 30 August and his place of death as a bathroom. Us Weekly reported that his cause of death was listed as deferred, meaning a final determination had not been made.

News of his death emerged on 8 October, when TMZ reported that the Los Angeles Police Department considered it an apparent natural death. Morgan's daughter remembered their drives, coffee outings and shared humour in a social-media tribute, writing that losing him had left 'the biggest hole in my heart'.
