Rest in peace. I liked his movies "Emma" and especially "Infamous."

Looked like a pretty healthy guy ....

Per NYC.gov

“Bodies of deceased persons are brought to this office because the law requires that the Chief Medical Examiner investigate deaths of persons dying from criminal violence, by accident, by suicide, suddenly when in apparent health, when unattended by a physician, in a correctional facility, or in any suspicious or unusual manner. The medical examiner is responsible for determining the cause and manner of death.”

If the coroner refuses to conduct an autopsy or slow-walks the results, guess what killed him.

The “killer” that shall not be named?

I was not familiar with Doug McGrath, but I recognize John Lithgow to the left. John has had a very long and productive career. I recall seeing him in The World according to Garp.
He just had his 77th birthday on Oct. 19th.

Come now. Healthy adults have been dying of heart attacks from time immemorial. /s

[bray]

It was a milder form of death.

Looks can be deceiving. I take it you’re one of the anti vaxxers who can’t imagine a 64 yr old dying of anything not covid vaccine related?

Anti vaxxer??? Really?

Talk about deceiving....

Are you one of THESE folks???

[Cecily]

You should add all the nasty tweets about and wishes of death for anti-vaxxers by Julie Powell, who recently died of cardiac arrest at age 49.

[DoodleBob]

Now THAT was epic.

[leaning conservative]

I really liked his Emma too. RIP sir.

[Jane Long]

Agree. She needs to be included, in this Hall of Shame.

Nice collection of tweets, we should never forget who those people are and what they’ve said.
