John Hughes, the Lansing-born film director known for a string of hit teen comedies in the ‘80s, has died today from a heart attack, TMZ.com is reporting.

Hughes directed such classics as “Sixteen Candles,”“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and “Home Alone.”

Since the mid-‘90s, Hughes has lived out of the public eye in Wisconsin, according to Variety.

According to TMZ, Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to New York City to visit family.

He was 59.
