Very sad how he passed away. A lot of those actors from ITHOTN passed away in a very short time.

Hugh O'Conner was quite tall, obviously over 6' towering over all others on "In the heat of the night" except for 6'3" Alan Autry. Hugh O'Connor was born in Italy to presumably Italian parents who gave him up for adoption. He was NOT Irish, but adopted by Irish-American actor Carol O'Connor.After his tragic death at age 32 his body was returned to Italy as he wished and was buried there. A memorial to him was placed next to his parents graves in America (but not his remains).

Isn't it Hugh O'Connor? Hugh O'Connor was Carroll O'Connor's adopted son and co-star in In the Heat of the Night. He died in the 90's of a drug overdose.

For the record, 5'8" would seem about right as he wasn't a tall character (not even as tall as Carroll, who isn't very tall - maybe 5'8.5" in the 1980's)
