Emergency services were reportedly called to his Tel Aviv apartment in the early hours of the afternoon but had no choice but to pronounce him dead at the scene.
The cause of death was not released.

In 2007 he released his first cookbook "The taste of the place."

He began writing for Yedioth Ahronoth soon after that.
