Swit was found dead inside her apartment in New York City at around 10am on Friday morning by her maid, according to the actress’ publicist, Harlan Boll.
Her cause of death is yet to be confirmed, but Boll says cops believe she died from natural causes.
Swit was a 10-time Emmy nominee who ended up winning the prestigious TV award twice.
Both wins came during her 11-year stint on M*A*S*H where she featured in 241 episodes.
Born in New Jersey to Polish parents, Swit first performed on stage at the age of seven.
She was also a trained singer at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Swit was once married to actor and M*A*S*H co-star Dennis Holahan but the pair divorced after 12 years together.
