Jon Hager, who with his brother Jim performed in the musical comedy duo the Hager Twins on the television series Hee Haw, was found dead in his apartment here on Friday morning. He was 67.
He apparently died in his sleep, said Sam Lovullo, who produced Hee Haw and was a friend of Mr. Hager. He had been in poor health and was depressed since Jim, his identical twin, died in May, Mr. Lovullo said.
The twins were in the original cast of the show, which made its debut in 1969 satirizing country life with a mixture of music and comedy. Both were guitarists and drummers. The Hagers had worked with the country star Buck Owens and joined Hee Haw when Owens signed as the shows co-host with Roy Clark.
