CLEVELAND — Legendary Cleveland TV personality Ron ‘The Ghoul’ Sweed passed away Monday evening following a heart attack several months ago, according to his ex-wife.

Barbara J. King shared a post on Facebook that began,  “It’s with a broken heart I am telling all my family and friends and you wonderful Ghoul fans that Ron Sweed lost his courageous 5 month fight and died last night.”

Sweed was just 13 years old when he wore a gorilla suit to a live Ghoulardi appearance here on WJW.

King wrote,  “Many of you told me stories of meeting Ron or how watching his TV show cheered you up; that all meant a lot to me.  I met Ron when I was 17, we got married when I was 18. We were married 14 years. Although we divorced we remained best friends.”
