"Howard Stern Show" wack packer Eric "The Actor" Lynch has died at 39 ... TMZ has learned.

Eric's longtime manager Johnny Fratto tells us Lynch was rushed to a hospital in Sacramento Saturday after he started having heart problems ... and we're told most of his organs just gave out.

An official from the hospital confirms Eric passed away Saturday afternoon ... and Fratto says Lynch was surrounded by family and friends when he died. We're told his caretaker Jon was also present.

Eric appeared on the Stern show just last week ... and said his parents would be taking over caretaking duties because Jon was moving away.

Eric has been calling into the Stern show since 2002 ... and would famously call in to yell at Howard. He had a love-hate relationship with pretty much everyone on staff. His medical condition was never explained on the show -- but he always claimed to have outlived doctors expectations.

Eric also made a few cameos on TV shows like "In Plain Sight" and "Fringe."

O wow now i remember that lil dude.

If i remember right, howard stern used to sig on him the worst alot harder than artie or anyone else did... Artie usually just flaps gums but howard knows how to get to peoples core. Anyways RIP, i just saw that he was a niner fan so that makes him a little bit cooler. Cuz that explains some of it.

B @butcher Artie years on the stern show were the best IMO. Not a top tier standup but he complemented the show well

I've been watching lots of stern recently and its annoying how high he always is and how he can't talk clearly without stumbling over his words
