The hospital would not release any information on the cause of death. The Fayette County coroner's office said no investigation of Cooke's death was planned.
The younger Cooke and his wife, Anita, faced a trial next February on one count each of felony cocaine possession and misdemeanor drug paraphernalia possession. They had pleaded innocent and were free on bond.
The couple was arrested in March after police searched their home on Elmendorf Farm and allegedly found three grams of cocaine, straws and scales.
Jack Kent Cooke bought the prestigious farm in 1984 for about $43 million. A Redskins spokesman said Monday the elder Cooke would have no comment.
His son was executive vice president of the farm and was an officer and director of Jack Kent Cooke Inc., the football team, Cooke Properties Inc. and Redskin Properties.Ralph Kent Cooke was born April 29, 1937, in Toronto.
Robinson selected to Hall
First came the Stanley Cup. Then he landed his first head coaching job. Now Larry Robinson is going to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Robinson was unanimously selected by the Toronto-based hall's player selection committee.
He got the news during opening day of training camp as head coach of the Los Angeles Kings. Last season, Robinson was an assistant with the Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils.
Other named to the hall are the late Fred ``Bun'' Cook, in the veteran players' category; and Bill Torrey and Gunther Sabetzki, in the builders' category. Cook helped the New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup in 1927 and 1933.
The induction ceremony is Nov.20.
Robinson spent 17 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, who won the Stanley Cup in his 1972-73 rookie season.
He helped them win four in a row from 1976 to 1979 and one more in 1986.
