No cause indicated yet. He was found in his home by police. Much speculation here, but having had an uncle who was found in his home by police doing a wellness check; it was likely a cardiac event. When people die unexpectedly while not under a doctor's care, an autopsy must be completed to determine the cause of death. It can take awhile.
I used to really enjoy Night Court. It was a great ensemble cast with very endearing characters.

None given but foul play was not suspected.He was living in North Carolina and the police were called at 6:40 a.m.,so he probably died in his sleep. I didn't realize how much he resembled Dana Carvey until I saw the photo in the obituary link.

Night Court was a huge hit.
I always thought that it was Harry calling the races when Battaglia was doing it - sounded just like Harry.

Interesting how he retired from acting while still a big star. He said he was "richer than Davey Crockett" and opened a magic store.

He seemed like a great guy...and he was obviously a very talented actor and showman. I loved the smart lines that he used...especially the one where he quipped that, "a fool and his money...were lucky to get together in the first place". I stole this line from Harry Anderson...and have been using it to make myself sound smart for over a quarter of a century. Rest In Peace, Harry "the Hat".

Thask, thanks for the reminder ... I forgot that great line. 
FWIW... the racing world recently lost a longtime jocks agent, Harry Hacek, forever and exclusively known as Harry The Hat.

I liked the character he played on "Dave's World" better than the one on "Night Court". Maybe because I'm a big Dave Barry fan.

To Sad, To Young
My wife worked for a large magician's supply, wholesale warehouse. Harry was one of her accounts. She would talked to him, many times during the week. She would come home and Say "guess who I talked to to today" Harry Anderson. They had a good relationship when he had his magic shop.
