One of my other favorite actors, Conrad Veidt, was also a victim of the evil nicotine at a young age. :( Like Ty, he was a very heavy smoker, and died in 1943 at age 50 on the golf course, leaving behind a loving wife (wife no. 3 but this is the marriage that took) and a young daughter.
I believe I read that Ty had been experiencing arm and shoulder pain for several days, but thought it might be tendonitis or something like that. It's all so sad. ;(
Well, the next batch of articles appears to be Mexican in origin from when Abandon Ship opened in theaters there. A more cheerful topic! ;)
I thought he had that EKG a year before and, yes, as you say he didn't want to know? Might have made a difference, might have not, who knows. Can't help but think that it certainly would have helped matters, however!
