From heavy.com:
Art Bell, the radio host, is dead. How did he die? The cause of death is not yet known.
From The Washington Post:
Long before fake news became a political topic, Mr. Bell made a good living encouraging Americans to accept the most fantastic and unlikely tales, to believe that we are not alone, to accept that in a world where the pace of life seemed to quicken with every passing year, there were forces from beyond that were trying to tell us something.

He was my graveyard-shift security job's fuel in the early 90s. I drifted away from Coast to Coast when he moved from politics into paranormal. I thought he was an astute and entertaining political commentator and even when I disagreed with his opinions he was still worth listening to. But even after he transitioned C2C to Dreamland, I'd tune in and often listen to his intro or bits and pieces, just because I loved his radio voice. His successors, not so much.
Oh well. We all go sometime, and I'm glad he found a life doing what he wanted and where he wanted. Condolences to Airyn and his family and friends, and all of us.
And when I want to buy broadcast radio gear - not often but it happens - I still turn to C. Crane first and I have gotten several things from them over the years.
This sig for rent.
