I wonder if comedians feel the pressure more than serious actors,thinking they have to be funny off screen,or are premature deaths merely random..

Anissa Jones (Family Affair) 1958-1976.

Peter Duel, of Alias Smith and Jones. I remember his death was during the production of the show. It was a bit shock to see the show and found he had died. I think he took his life.

I didn't know that fake ages qualified...! Actual age when he passed away: 80 (1894-1974).

We could go the other way. WHo lived over age 100.

I find it so sad that many died from accidents, murders, and illnesses. They had so many more years to live. People who died from substance abuse, I find they should have found help.
