Dan Gordon-Levitt, the older brother of actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has died.  According to ''People'' magazine, Gordon-Levitt was found "unresponsive" in his home in Hollywood on October 4, 2010.  The 36-year-old later died at a nearby hospital.  There was no immediate word on his cause of death. 

Dan Gordon-Levitt was also known as "Burning Dan," because of his fire spinning performances at the annual Burning Man experimental festival in Nevada.  On his official website, Gordon-Levitt described himself as "a photographer, fire dancer, swashbuckler, and traveler."

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt confirmed his brother's death on his Twitter account on October 5, 2010, saying:  "My super hero brother @burningdan 1974-2010." He then provided a link to the brothers' multimedia website, hitRECord.org, asking followers to "celebrate his life here." 

A note on the hitRECord.org website from Joseph Gordon-Levitt read: "BURNING dAN brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as 'the creative spirit.'"  Gordon-Levitt added: "He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while."

In August of 2010, Dan Gordon-Levitt discussed his performance art in an interview with PopEater.  Gordon-Levitt talked about "flow arts" in the interview, mentioning that he was teaching classes at a special school he started in Los Angeles.  In the interview, Gordon-Levitt also talked about his striking resemblance to his younger brother, saying "it's wonderful to be mistaken for him."
