Singer actor Danny Gans, who spent more than a decade as one of the most popular entertainers in Las Vegas, died Friday when he was 52. He was dead in his bed shortly after police and paramedics came to his home about 3:45 a.m., said police spokesman Todd Rasmussen. Gans' manager and longtime friend, Chip Lightman, said Gans was in good health but slept poorly after Wednesday's show and took a nap late Thursday afternoon, a day off. He stayed in bed into the evening, and his wife, Julie, summoned police when she couldn't rouse him after 3 a.m.
