AceShowbiz - Two television producers passed away earlier this week. Just a day after Jeffrey Ian Pollack was found dead on a beach, sad news came from British producer Allan McKeown who died on Tuesday, December 24.
Pollack, the director of "Booty Call" and a producer on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", was already deceased when he was found on the Greenbelt in Hermosa Beach, Calif., early on December 23 morning by an unidentified woman, who contacted police. The location, which is about 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles, is a jogging area in the Greenbelt.
The 54-year-old who also directed "Above the Rim" (1994) was wearing jogging clothes and carrying an iPod. Hermosa Beach police captain Tommy Thompson said, "It's still unknown how he died, we're not sure if it was a heart attack. But there were no signs of foul play."
McKeown, meanwhile, died after a battle with prostate cancer. The husband of Tracey Ullman, who also served as a producer and co-creator of her comedy shows, passed away at his Los Angeles home. He was 67-year-old. Besides his wife Ullman, he's survived by their daughter Mabel and son Johnny.
