Actor Tom Skerritt has died at the age of 93, according to a CBS News report. The report said he died of natural causes, and his family said so in a statement.

CBS News described Skerritt in its headline as known for roles in Alien and Picket Fences. The New York Times report by Anita Gates also covered his death, and its headline named key roles in M*A*S*H, Alien and Steel Magnolias.

The Times summary said his rugged good looks, commanding presence and versatility led to key roles in M*A*S*H and Steel Magnolias. It also said he won an Emmy for his work on Picket Fences.

The reports differ on detail. CBS News stated the cause of death, while the Times summary does not address how Skerritt died. The two headlines also emphasize different titles: CBS News led with Alien and Picket Fences, while the Times led with M*A*S*H, Alien and Steel Magnolias. Both reports name Picket Fences, and both headlines name Alien.

Taken together, the titles named across the two reports are Alien, M*A*S*H, Steel Magnolias and Picket Fences. Neither summary available for this story gives further details about Skerritt's career, survivors or funeral arrangements, and neither specifies where he died.

This account is limited to the headlines and summaries of the two reports linked above.
