Pink Taco founder and Lindsay Lohan’s ex Harry Morton has been found dead in his Beverly Hills home aged just 38, TMZ reports.
The business owner, and son of Hard Rock Café co founder Peter Morton, is said to have been found unresponsive by a relative on Saturday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Foul play is not said to be suspected and an autopsy is pending.

Reports also linked him to Jennifer Aniston and Hayden Panettiere, according to TMZ.
