US series star Robert Blake has died at the age of 89

Former US series star Robert Blake has died at the age of 89. The actor had succumbed to heart failure, the industry website Deadline reported on Thursday, citing his niece Noreen Austin. Blake is best known for starring in the crime series Baretta and in the film In Cold Blood, in which he played a murderer.

The actor's career was overshadowed by allegations that he killed his wife Bonny Lee Bakley. A criminal court found him innocent in 2005. However, in a later civil lawsuit, he was ordered to pay Bakley's family $30 million.

Blake had always maintained his innocence. The actor was accused of shooting his wife dead in the car after they went to a restaurant together in May 2001, just six months after the wedding. On the other hand, he himself testified that he had gone back into the bar to look for his pistol, which had fallen out of his pocket. When he came back, he found his wife dead.
