The son of country legend Tex Ritter, Ritter gained fame as the character Jack in the 1977 TV sitcom Three s Company. He was 54. Ritter has been starring in a current hit A-B-C sitcom, Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. AP John Ritter, a master of sitcom silliness who ruled TV comedy with Three s Company and then found success again 25 years later with 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter, has died of an undetected heart problem. He was 54. Ritter became ill Thursday while working on his ABC series and underwent surgery at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank for a tear in his aorta, a rare medical condition that can hit without warning. As CBS Elizabeth Kaledin reports, the aortic dissection – a tear in the aorta that felled Ritter is tough to detect and leaves little time to react. It affects 1 out of 5,000 and few survive it.
