(Credit: Getty)A spokesman at the medical office confirmed to CBSNews.com that it had received word of his death. "A possible autopsy may be performed after evaluation of the circumstances of the death and medical information," the spokesperson said.
The website TMZ first reported the death. A representative for Jones confirmed to the Associated Press that he died Wednesday morning of a heart attack in Indiantown, Fla.
Born in Manchester, England, Jones rose to stardom as a teen idol on the NBC comedy series, "The Monkees," which ran from 1966-1968. The show, which followed a rock group modeled after the Beatles, also starred Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork. They were originally banned from playing their own instruments on the show. The Monkees scored several hits, including "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer."
After the show ended, the Monkees started to disband. Jones released a self-titled album in 1971.
