To be honest, I thought he already WAS dead. Obviously I was thinking of someone else.  (Richard Lewis, maybe?) 

Well, he made the Best Celebrity Death Trifecta of All Time: Raquel Welch, Stella Stevens, and him. If you gotta go, man, that's going in style!

I first saw him in The Groove Tube with Chevy Chase.
