Eric the Actor DEAD — Howard Stern Wack Packer Dies at 39

Exclusive Details

“Howard Stern Show” wack packer Eric “The Actor” Lynch has died at 39 … TMZ has learned.

Eric’s longtime administrator Johnny Fratto tells us Lynch was rushed to a hospital in Sacramento Saturday after he started having heart problems … and we’re told most of his organs just gave out.

An official from the hospital confirms Eric passed away Saturday afternoon … and Fratto says Lynch was surrounded by family and friends when he died.  We’re told his caretaker Jon was also present.

Eric appeared on the Stern show just last week … and said his parents would be taking over caretaking duties because Jon was moving away.

Eric has been calling into the Stern show since 2002 … and would particularly call in to yell at Howard. He had a like-despise relationship with pretty much everyone on staff. His medical shape up was never clarified on the show — but he always claimed to have outlived doctors expectations.

Eric also made a few cameos on TV shows like “In Plain Sight” and “Fringe.”

Back in 2009 we shot Eric rolling up to Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Beverly Hills — where he really got the valet to park his pimped out Power-Wheels style Escalade.
