“He has returned to the Universe, a shining star in her heavens. He was my angel, my husband, my best friend and always will be. He adored his family, his friends and his fans. This came as a shock to all of us.

“We, as a family, are asking that our privacy and time to mourn be respected.

Haig, best known for playing Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie “House of 1000 Corpses,” has been hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit after suffering an unspecified accident.

Sid’s wife Suzie revealed the news via a message on his Instagram account.

The account has since been updated with a new message saying “Update coming soon. That is all for now. Please pray. Thank you all.” This echoes the request for prayers that came along with Suzie’s message, which fans of faith will likely readily provide, reports ihorror.
