Palillo was found by his partner Joseph Gramm about 4 AM this morning, according to reports.
The former TV star was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Palillo was said to be in good health but had been a heavy smoker for years.
Along with breakout star John Travolta, Palillo was one of the “sweathogs” who bedeviled high school teacher Gabe Kaplan who played Kotter.
