R.I.P. "Lost in Space" Actor Has Died

Posted Jan 18th 2009 4:08PM by TMZ Staff



Bob May -- who played The Robot in "Lost in Space" -- died early this morning at the Lancaster Community Hospital in California.

A rep for Bob said he was taken to the hospital on Friday, and died at around 3 AM this morning of congestive heart failure.

Back in November, Bob had a stroke soon after a fire consumed his California home.

Patricia Arthur, May's long time friend and agent, "Asks all his fans to take a moment of silence as one of Science Fiction's greatest has passed. Family and friends will miss him dearly."

Bob was 69.

Wow, I didn't know that one specific person played the robot. I figured if someone didn't have lines in a certain scene they had to wear the costume.

RIP Mr May, even if I had no idea until just now you existed, lol.

Thoughts are with the family.
