| Lady Sings the Blues (1972) [Piano Man]: Beaten to death by thugs, while Diana Ross looks on helplessly. Some Call It Loving (Dream Castle; Sleeping Beauty) (1973) [Jeff]: My memory of this movie is very vague, but I believe he died of a drug overdose or alcohol-related illness; unless I'm misremembering, I believe there was a scene of Zalman King attending Richard's funeral. Saturday Night Live (Dec. 13, 1975) [Major]: Poisoned when he swallows a suicide pill, misunderstanding Dan Aykroyd's instructions to "take this pill" (when Dan only meant for Richard to carry it with him). |
