On Saturday afternoon, Eric "The Actor" Lynch -- a guest and frequent caller to "The Howard Stern Show" -- died in a Sacramento hospital at the age of 39.

The exact cause of Lynch's death remains unclear. However, TMZ reports that the actor began having heart problems and was immediately taken to a nearby Sacramento hospital where he later died once "most of his organs just gave out," writes a TMZ rep.

Lynch's family, friends and his caretaker Jon were all in attendance at the hospital when Lynch died.

Following his sudden death, Lynch's manager Johnny Fratto announced the tragic news on Sunday afternoon via Twitter.

Sirius XM -- which broadcasts Stern's show on two channels -- also took part in announcing the tragic news on Twitter, the New York Daily News reports.

Lynch fans immediately took to Twitter as well following the news of the actor's death.

Prior to his death, Lynch -- who was 3-foot-5 -- suffered from an undisclosed medical condition that required him to use a motorized wheelchair, TMZ reports.

Lynch last appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" last week when he announced that his parents would be taking over as his official caretakers. Lynch was also known to boast about outliving his doctors' expectations, according to TMZ.

In addition to appearing on "The Howard Stern Show," Lynch also appeared on "In Plain Sight," "Fringe" and "American Dreams."
