He actually died of a heart attack in the pool. The cast helped his body sink to the bottom of the pool. In April, 1974, robbed of a watch and beaten by his mugger in South Carolina when he appeared in Florence as a guest speaker for a meeting of the American Cancer Society. He died three months later. He had two children.

Wasn't he part of the Captain Video and his Video Rangers TV series back in the 50s?

LOL..I've got about 20 years on you as far as the vote goes. Captain Video was fun to watch..don't know if it's on youtube, but it was early science fiction on the black & white screen, and we kids loved watching it. Not as old as the original 1930s Flash Gordon series, but memorable none the less.
