Answer 2

, Ritter became seriously ill during rehearsals for 8 Simple Rules, which was starting its second season, eventually collapsing while on set. He was taken across the street from the studio to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, where he died hours later, a week before his 55th birthday, in the same hospital in which he was born. The date of his death was also the same as his daughter Stella's fifth birthday, the day before wife Yasbeck's forty-first birthday, and six days before their wedding anniversary. He died from an aortic dissection caused by a previously undiagnosed congenital heart defect. Ritter was interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
