I believe so, yes.

Thanks, and I believe that Hugh was adopted by the O'Connors as a baby.

Yes, though I always thought that Hugh actually resembled Carroll facially. Weird, huh?

Didn't Hugh O'Conner die of a drug overdose?

It was around his funeral that Barbara Eden's only son, Matthew, died of a drug overdose.

More deaths include Paul Newman's only son to a drug overdose, and Gregory Peck's oldest son to suicide.

He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Thanks, and I know I also could have "googled" this.

I assumed it was a drug overdose since I remember Caroll going after his drug dealers. This was before Hugh died.

You're right, and after Hugh died, Carroll won a settlement for wrongful death. Then he also had to defend himself against a defamation suit brought on by one of the drug dealers.
