Luke, star of the iconic '90s teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210 and most recently, The CW's Riverdale, died March 4 at the age of 52 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, California after a "massive" stroke in the days prior that left him severely incapacitated.

According to reports, Luke was conscious, communicating when paramedics arrived at his home in Sherman Oaks, but his condition worsened, and doctors had to eventually sedate him.

Luke's publicist confirmed his death in a statement, sharing that the actor passed while surrounded by family and friends including his two children, Jack Perry and Sophie, his fiancée, Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, step-father Steve Bennett and other family and friends.
