True Blood actor Nelsan Ellis died from heart failure after trying to withdraw from alcohol on his own, his agent has said.
Ellis first appeared in True Blood as the cook at Merlotte’s grill in 2008 and remained for the show’s seven series.

He appeared in CBS show Elementary most recently and he also had a role in 2011 film The Help.
