'Seinfeld' Actor Charles Levin Believed to Be Dead After Human Remains Found

Charles Levin, a character actor who had appeared on TV shows including Seinfeld, Night Court and NYPD Blue, is believed to be dead after human remains were found in Southern Oregon.

Charles‘ son reported the 70-year-old missing earlier this month, and the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety conducted a search.

“On Friday, July 12th Josephine County Search and Rescue was able to narrow down a search area based on an emergency cellular phone ping requested by GPDPS,” the department said in a statement. “At about 8:00 PM on Saturday, a local…resident located Charles Levin‘s car in a very remote and almost impassible road. Troopers from the Oregon State Police responded and were escorted to the car by the individual who found it. Levin’s car was off the roadway and was disabled due to terrain.”

“Levin was not in his car, or in the immediate proximity of his vehicle,” but police said they found his pug deceased in the vehicle. “Assisted by the responding Troopers, personnel conducted a grid search of the very steep and rugged terrain. After several hours of searching, human remains were located. Based on the circumstances, there is a high probability that the remains are those of Charles Levin.”

Our thoughts are with Charles‘ loved ones during this time.
