His spokesperson had revealed it was all pre-planned. According to his death certificate, the legend had died almost 24 hours before his body was discovered. He passed away at around 7 a. ET at his home on Roanoke Island, authorities reported. At the request of his family, Griffith's body was lowered into a grave on the island at about a. ET, according to a funeral spokesperson who declined to be named, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
Most known for his role as the sheriff of Mayberry on the CBS series "The Andy Griffith Show," Griffith died Tuesday after an unspecified illness and "has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoke Island," the family said in a statement.
