C.W. Morgan, who played Ghostface killer Billy Loomis’ dad in the 1996 movie Scream, has died at 72. The actor’s daughter, Renata Macfie, posted about his passing on Facebook, along with a photo of the two of them from her childhood. “Losing you has left the biggest hole in my heart… I will carry on our Mulholland drives and our Starbucks outings. I’m grateful and lucky to have had you as my daddy… Rest easy, bubby. Life will never be the same without you and your poorly timed jokes that I inherited from you. Love you endlessly (no more fighting about that anymore, I win),” Macfie wrote. Morgan died on Aug. 30 in Los Angeles County, according to medical examiner records. Although the cause of death hasn’t been announced, the records say he died in a bathroom. An LAPD spokesperson said it appeared to be from natural causes. In Scream, his character Hank Loomis famously prompted Billy’s murder spree by having an affair with main character Sidney Prescott’s mother. Morgan returned in a Scream 3 flashback scene in 2000.
