It is with many heavy hearts that we from TestYourMight.com have to acknowledge the passing of Mr. Darren Shahlavi, the actor who played Kano in the popular web-series Mortal Kombat Legacy.

According to the source cited below, Shahlavi was found dead in his apartment due to an overdose on prescribed medications, on January 14. He was 42.

We will miss him dearly.

Darren Shahlavi, who appeared in popular TV shows including "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" and "Arrow," died of an apparent overdose ... TMZ has learned.

Shahlavi was found dead January 14 at his L.A. home and law enforcement sources tell us ... it appears he overdosed on prescription meds.

We're told the 42-year-old actor sadly had a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

He pursued a stunt career in Hong Kong in the '90s and eventually came to the U.S. to pursue acting.

In addition to the various shows, Shahlavi starred in the 2012 TV movie "Aladdin and the Death Lamp." He also had a classic fight scene in the cult movie "Ip Man 2."

We're told the L.A. County Coroner is conducting toxicology tests before determining the exact cause of death.

"Arrow" star Stephen Amell -- who fought Darren on the show's first episode -- called him a "great dude & a patient, thougtful partner."

Likes nerds with big ...
I read about it yesterday. Very sad but the first thing on my mind was...
What's weird is that that's how the Kano actor in the first movie died too. Also in his 40s .
Seriously, when I saw MK actor died I thought "Wouldn't it be odd if it was someone who played Kano" then researched who this actor played and was like "woah...". R.I.P.
