He was 60 years old so it could have been heart disease.
Hard to believe his father Micheal Landon ('Pa' on "Little House on the Prairie") is that old! I used to think he was so handsome on the show!

wow, he had a 60 year old son?? Hard to believe and tragic for his family. I honestly had no idea he would have a 60 year old son.
EDIT: he was a son Michael adopted when he married Dodie.

Michael Landon as been dead 18 years I think.  This was his first wife's son Michael adopted when they were married. When I read the thread title I was thinking the one that makes LHOTP type movies for Hallmark.

Oh, that's right. I forgot Micheal Landon was also dead. He died of pancreatic cancer in 1991. Where does the time go?

No, he couldn't have a (natural) 60 year old son - Michael Landon born October 31, 1936 - July 1, 1991. If my math is correct, he would be turning 73 this year. Well I guess if he fathered a child at 12... lol
From wiki -
Mark Fraser Landon, born October 1, 1948 (adopted, Dodie's biological son), died May 11, 2009
Mark Frasier Landon was adopted in 1956, aged 7, by the 20 year-old actor Michael Landon. Mark's mother was Michael's then wife, Dodie Levy-Frasier.
