Thicke leaves behind his three sons Robin, Brennan and Carter, as well as his wife, Tanya.

According to TMZ, the "Growing Pains" actor was regularly at the Burbank-based ice rink to play hockey. The report states that Thicke and his son Carter were playing hockey at around 11 am on Tuesday.

During a game of hockey, Thicke had chest pains and eventually became nauseated, which led to vomiting.

Once an ambulance arrived to assist Alan Thicke at around 11:30 am, he was then transported to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center where he was pronounced dead as the result of a heart attack.

While it is a very sad day for the Thicke family as well as the entertainment industry and fans around the world, fellow celebrities and other television personalities have taken to Twitter to pay their respects and remember the TV icon.
