Chad McQueen, who famously played Dutch in the ‘Karate Kid’ movie franchise, is dead … TMZ has learned.
Chad died Wednesday at his ranch in Palm Desert, CA as a result of organ failure … according to his longtime attorney, Arthur Barens.
We’re told he had an injury a few years ago which led to progressive organ failure and ultimately killed him.
