That's just awful! It seems he had financial troubles and his son confirmed it was a suicide. I wonder why people don't try and seek help instead of killing themselves?

Back in the 70's they didn't have all the help they do now. But, his family should have done something , cause he attempted suicide twice before.
Readiness is all.
Wow, I never knew he had previous suicide attempts. He always seemed fine on the show.

Very sad. But he won't be forgotten, he'll live on as the Chief.

And the doctor on the superb Twilight Zone episode "A Hundred Yards Over the Rim".
shareHe was also in Rebel Without a Cause and North By Northwest, which are both super classic movies, enjoyed by many generations. Also shows up in about 100 TV shows I think. A good actor, a sad way to go. On the 1989 TV reunion movie (which is the best TV reunion movie ever made) they dedicated it to Ed, which I thought was a nice touch.
shareI have what used to be called "The Nude Bomb" on DVD, but I'm not familiar with the later one.

It's called 'Get Smart Again'
Written by one of the writers for the original series. It's a scream.
Who plays the chief in the movie and how did he do?

Assuming he suffered from melancholia or depression, the very nature of the disease inhibits the victim from seeking help. You can imagine the downward spiral that ensues from this.
Ironically, those who truly intend to take their own lives rarely give off any signs, they just make up their minds and do it; then it's too late. The ones who call 911 or wherever to announce that they want to kill themselves really don't intend to do it, rather this is a cry for help.
If only we could ask those who went through with it what drove them to it, maybe we could help others. It's sad.
It is sad bote.

More often than not, the decision comes in a moment of seeming clarity, rather than in the despondent stage. It's easy to confuse that state with "getting over it."
Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!
I sounds like no one, at least on this thread, is privy to the cause of his suicide. He may have been suffering from a fatal illness,and took his own life to spare his family.
shareHis son said in an interview that he was suffering from financial problems and had untreated depression or something like that. He had previously attempted suicide twice before, so his family knew he had issues. Due to the stigma of mental issues then, they didn't coerce him to get the help he needed. If you Google you can find info about it from his own family, they lied about it for several years saying it was a heart issue or something. That's sad bc his situation could have been used to help others in the same boat.
shareThe word is problem, not issue, you politically correct baboon.
shareDon't listen to the post right above mine; your post was just fine, and he's completely out of line. Sounds like a troll.
