Baywatch star Michael Newman has died aged 68 following an 18-year battle with Parkinson's disease.
A close friend of the actor confirmed he passed away on Sunday evening from "heart complications". Michael was best known for his role as Newmie on the long-running series. In total, he appeared on 150 episodes of the show.
MIchael's friend, Matt Felker, described how Michael had told him he was "just in time" the last time he saw him. Felker, who was the director of the Hulu docuseries After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, also revealed the star was surrounded by family and friends as he passed away.
Felker told People: "I got to see Mike the last time he was conscious and he looked [at] me and in typical Mike fashion said, 'You’re just in time'."
