Jan-Michael Vincent Airwolf Star Dead at 73

Jan-Michael actually died back on February 10 after suffering cardiac arrest while a patient at a North Carolina hospital ... according to the death certificate. We're told no autopsy was performed and he was later cremated.

Jan-Michael was most recently in the 2002 movie, White Boy ... but he had a long, successful career in TV and film.

His CBS hit, Airwolf, made him into a huge star. At the time, he was reportedly the highest-paid actor at $200k per episode. Jan-Michael played helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke on the show, but the series lasted only a couple seasons largely in part to the star's cocaine abuse. His acting career would ultimately suffer from it.

Jan-Michael nearly died in 2012 from an infection that required his right leg to be amputated. Jan-Michael also starred opposite Burt Reynolds in the 1978 film, Hooper -- and co-starred with Kim Basinger in the 1981 film, Hard Country. He was a steady working actor in Hollywood for 3 decades, and appeared in tons of the old classics like, Lassie, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke.
