Hollywood stars most mysterious dead
Alec Baldwin starred in the fall sip on the set of the Rust movie in which director of photography Halyna Hutchins was killed. The actor, during the shooting of the film, pulled the trigger of a prop pistol that had to be loaded with blanks.
He accidentally shot, killing the woman and injuring director Joel Souza while filming at Bonanza Creek Ranch, New Mexico. But this is just one of the many mysterious deaths involving the Hollywood star system. While filming the thriller The Crow, Brandon Lee had to shoot a scene where he was shot with a toy weapon.
This, however, was poorly prepared and one of the shots that fired instead of blanks was loaded with a real bullet. Following his fatal injury, he died shortly after in hospital. In Bruce Lee’s latest film, Chen’s Last Fight, his character is killed by a toy gun just like Brandon later did.
Elvis died in his bathroom in 1977 and the cause of his death was probably medical malpractice. During the autopsy, Dr. Jerry Francisco determined a cardiac arrhythmia as the cause of death. Francisco stated that drugs had nothing to do with the cause of death, despite not the Elvis’Dotts.
George Nichopoulos was accused of prescribing too high doses of painkillers but the mystery remains.

Officially, the alleged causes were the same as for the wife, anemia and pneumonia. Coincidence? George Reevs died with a bullet in the head.

Bob Crane was beaten to death and found with an electrical cable around his neck: John Carpenter, who was in town to visit him, was the prime suspect.
