The Wire actor Bobby J Brown, who played a cop with his own name, has died in a tragic barn fire, aged 62.

Brown, who started as a professional boxer, was hailed as “a man of immense talent and incredible discipline” by his agent, Dr Albert Bramante, following his death on Tuesday (24 February).

The actor’s death was ruled an accident by the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, with the cause listed as "diffuse thermal injury and smoke inhalation”.

St Mary's County press release said firefighters arrived on the scene to find the barn “nearly fully engulfed in fire”, which Brown had entered so he could jump-start a vehicle.
