Agent Simon Beresford announced Friday that Griffiths died a day earlier of complications following heart surgery at University Hospital in Coventry, central England.

I didn't get to see Griffiths in anything other than the Harry Potter films but I liked his spot-on portrayal of Uncle Vernon. R.I.P...... Bluesad
