Pollack had been at Hermosa Beach, Calif., on Monday in the Greenbelt jogging area when it’s believed he collapsed. A fellow jogger discovered Pollack and subsequently called police. He’d been sporting jogging clothes and had his iPod with him. No foul play is suspected.

“He was already deceased,” Hermosa Beach Police Department Capt. Tommy Thompson told the Hermosa Beach Easy Reader. “He was very cold and had been there a bit. It's still unknown how he died. We're not sure if it was a heart attack, but there were no signs of foul play."

In addition to his directing work, Pollack served as both a writer and producer on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His other producing credits include The Fighting Temptations, Jennifer Lopez in Concert and The Tyra Banks Show.

Marlon Wayans, who starred in Pollack’s Above the Rim, took to Twitter to share his grief about the director’s passing.

Pollack is survived by his children – daughter Lael Pollack, 19, and son Logan Pollack, 13.
