Bob Denver has died at 70.

Bob Denver, the actor who played goofy island castaway Gilligan in the 1960s television show Gilligan's Island, has died of complications from cancer treatments.

Denver, 70, died on Friday at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina, his agent Mike Eisenstadt says.

Gilligan's Island aired on CBS in the United States from 1964 to 1967.

The tale of seven people who were lost at sea and stranded on a deserted island became one of most enduring TV comedies in reruns.

Gilligan was a lovable character but one with whom Denver was so closely associated that it became difficult for him to win other starring roles in a 50-year career.

Denver first gained stardom on another TV sitcom of the late 1950s and early 1960s, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, in which he played beatnik Maynard G Krebs.

Mr Eisenstadt did not provide details of Denver's death other than to say that he had been in the hospital for cancer treatment.

The actor's family did not want to disclose specifics about the type of cancer, Mr Eisenstadt said.

Denver is survived by his wife Dreama, who was at his side when he died, and his four children.
