Carl Weathers died of AIDS?
No
The guy who played the Predator monster died of AIDS some time ago.
No some unknown called Kevin Peter Hall died in 1991. He played the Predator. Carl is hale and hearty AFAIK.
Apollo Creed was not the Predator in Arnold's movie...he was one of the victims...losing his arm while trying to defend himself with a machine gun.
Kevin Peter Hall (9 May 1955 - 10 April 1991) is an African-American actor famous for his roles as the 'monsters' in Harry and The Hendersons (1987), Predator (1987), and Predator 2 (1990). He mostly played monster roles due to his extremely tall stature (he stood 7'2 1/2").
He married 227 actress Alaina Reed in 1989 after appearing on the program. They had two kids before his death in 1991 from AIDS; he received the disease from a botched blood transfusion late in 1990.
He also reprised his role as Harry on the TV series version of Harry and The Hendersons before he passed away.

Carl Weathers played Dillon and is still alive...
Bit of trivia.... the original Predator was Jean Claude Van Damme but the producers felt he was too short!
