Standup comedian John Pinette -- best known for his role as the guy who got mugged in the "Seinfeld" finale -- was found dead in his Pittsburgh hotel room Saturday ... TMZ has learned.

The Allegheny County medical examiner's office says Pinette died in his Sheraton Hotel room around 2:30 PM ... and foul play is NOT suspected.

According to reports ... the medical examiner did not perform an autopsy because Pinette's personal physician said the actor had been suffering from liver and heart disease.

Pinette had checked into rehab for a prescription pill addiction last August

He was 50.
---------------------------------------
John Pinette was not only an unbelievable comic but one of the nicest people I ever knew. It was an honor to be his friend and share the stage with him on so many occasions. John was an unselfish performer who left it all on the stage. Truly a great man who will never be forgotten. RIP John xx Jh
