The Kennedy family probably offed him.

Ah, even more making the assassinated out to be assassins themselves.

Actually, the truth is even more interesting than PussyGalore's theory (inasmuch as Wikipedia can be counted on for the truth):

The film had been produced by two wealthy marijuana dealers—Robert Sterling and Leonard Goldberg. Goldberg was murdered by the mafia in the middle of production, for failure to pay his debts, and Sterling was later sentenced to 40 years in jail for drug smuggling
