The actor James Garner has died at the age of 86.

The star passed away at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.

James Garner had suffered ill health since a severe stroke in 2008.

Mr Garner was best known for his roles in TV series "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files."

He was nominated for an Oscar for the 1985 film "Murphy's Romance."

The West LA Division of the Los Angeles Police Department said Mr Garner had died of natural causes.

He is best remembered as laconic private investigator Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files [1974 to 1980] and also as the poker-playing Bret Maverick in the Western comedy from 1957 to 1962, and again from 1981 to 1982.
