A posting on Dyer's Facebook page said: "Wayne has left his body, passing away through the night. He always said he couldn't wait for this next adventure to begin and had no fear of dying. Our hearts are broken, but we smile to think of how much our scurvy elephant will enjoy the other side."

The posting was signed by his family. Within an hour, it had been shared more than 32,000 times.

For years, Dyer was a regular guest on Oprah Winfrey's talk show.
