Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they were called to Hardwick's Texas home Tuesday for a welfare check and discovered his body. We're told Hardwick was pronounced dead at the scene ... and no foul play is suspected. We don't yet know the cause of death.

Man this hits hard. His YouTube channel was straight up unhinged and I loved it. He lived in a highrise downtown and was going a bit crazy for a good minute. Sad to hear this ๐Ÿ˜ž

I already strongly felt that they shouldn't reboot King of the Hill for a lot of reasons, but I especially can't imagine them going through with it now.

They wisely chose to take the axe to the Boondocks revival after Grandpa died. Doing the show without John Witherspoon would be like continuing The Simpsons after Harry Shearer or Dan Castellaneta died (and of course, Disney probably WOULD do that, but it wouldn't be a smart idea).

FUCK. Dude was really funny as a person too. This really puts a wrench in bringing back my favorite show ever with all the voice actors... (Obviously no Luanne)

That's just what the government wants you to think....

Man, if the King of the Hill reboot is still in the works, it just won't be the same without the so many great voices that we've lost over the years.

Man, this is heartbreaking! Dale was my favorite character. R.I.P Rusty Shackleford

I'm not saying the government is somehow involved here...but

RIP Dale

Love that photo with him and Petty. Fucking sucks man. The show won't be the same without him.
