Doubtless, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of the cause of Mr. Grave’s death.

May he rest in peace! (To be honest, I didn’t know he was still alive ...)

And my sincere sympathies to his family and friends.

James Arness (AKA Marshall Dillon) was his brother in real life. Rest in peace, sir!

Hubby and I are just finishing the last season of Mission Impossible. We watch one episode a week. Peter Graves has always been one of my favorite actors. RIP.

Surprised no mention of his bother, James Arness, still kicking at 86 per Wikipedia.
