Harry Morton is seen at the opening of his Pink Taco restaurant in Los Angeles, California on June 28, 2007. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the entreprenuer was dead on Nov. 24, 2019 at the age of 38. Harry was reportedly found unresponsive in his Beverly Hills area home by a family member, then later pronounced dead on the scene.
Harry comes from a family lineage of well-known restaurateurs, including his dad Peter Morton — who co-founded the Hard Rock Cafe — and his grandfather Arnie Morton founded the iconic Morton’s Steakhouse. Harry later followed in his family’s footsteps by opening trendy LA spot Pink Taco in 1999 at the age of 18 years old, and later bought the legendary Viper Room. Harry also has a number of celebrity connections, and previously dated Lindsay Lohan in the early 2000s.
