Abrams was staying at the Fairmont Orchid Hotel with his wife, pediatric dentist Lynn Lempert, according to the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, which reported that paramedics arrived at the hotel at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday.

Police said there was no indication of foul play, but they are awaiting results from Friday's scheduled autopsy before making any conclusions.

Meanwhile, Deadline Hollywood has a source saying that it appears Abrams had a heart attack.

The veteran writer-producer's credits also include 3rd Rock From the Sun and King of the Hill. He shared a nomination for Best New Series for Everybody Hates Chris at the 2006 WGA Awards.
