Pollack, who also directed the Jamie Foxx film "Booty Call" and David Spade's "Lost & Found," was wearing jogging clothes and carrying an iPod when a passerby discovered him and contacted police.

Hermosa Beach Police Department Capt. Tommy Thompson told PageSix, "It's still unknown how he died; we're not sure if it was a heart attack, but there were no signs of foul play."

Pollack is best known for teaming up with Benny Medina to form the production company Medina/Pollack Entertainment, which later became Handprint Entertainment, according to UsWeekly. He went on to produce and write for "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" from 1990 to 1996, which was inspired by Medina's own life.
