Scooby-Doo co-creator Ken Spears dies aged 82
Ken Spears, the co-creator of the cartoon series Scooby-Doo, has died at the age of 82.
Spears, who created the animated characters alongside his creative partner Joe Ruby, died of complications from Lewy body dementia.
Their original show, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, only ran for two series from 1969-1970, but established a template that spawned 50 years of stories.
Spears' death comes three months after that of his co-creator, Ruby.
His son Kevin confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Spears died in Los Angeles on Friday.
