Karl Swenson is best known for his performance as Lars Hanson in forty episodes of Little House on the Prairie. Swenson died of a heart attack in Torrington, Connecticut, shortly after filming the episode in which the Little House character Hanson died. He was interred at Center Cemetery in New Milford, Connecticut.

I thought he died after the There's No Place Like Home episode.
