HuffPost
The award-winning television writer died in his Los Angeles home. He was 101.
The cause of death for award-winning TV writer Norman Lear has officially been released.
“The Jeffersons” and “All in the Family” creator died from cardiac arrest, according to the death certificate obtained Monday by TMZ. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office document reportedly listed congestive heart failure as an underlying cause of death.
Lear passed away in his Los Angeles home on Dec. 5. He was 101 years old.
The prolific writer and producer changed television forever, as some of his most iconic shows — including “Good Times” and “Sanford and Son” — portrayed American life with a grounded realism that differed starkly from the escapism of the 1950s and ’60s.
The most popular shows in post-war America, including “I Love Lucy” and “Leave It to Beaver,” mostly concerned themselves with family-friendly banter and child-friendly premises. However, Lear tackled subjects such as money, class, abortion and race.
