Popular Comedian John Pinette is Dead -- 'Seinfeld' Actor Dies in Hotel Room

Standup comedian John Pinette -- best known for his role as the guy who got mugged in the " Seinfeld " finale -- was found dead in his
Pittsburgh hotel room Saturday ... TMZ has learned.

The Allegheny County medical examiner's office says Pinette died in his Sheraton Hotel room around 2:30 PM ... and foul play is NOT
suspected.

According to reports ... the medical examiner did not perform an autopsy because Pinette's personal physician said the actor had been
suffering from liver and heart disease.

Pinette had checked into rehab for a prescription pill addiction last August.
