Tragic New Details Surrounding ‘Seinfeld’ Actor Charles Levin’s Death
Page 6 ^ | 11/7/2019

Actor Charles Levin, 70, died over the summer, and now a new report is shedding light on what happened.

Levin was reported missing by his son Jesse on June 28 after he called a friend to say he was lost somewhere near Cave Junction, Oregon.

Now, DailyMail.com has obtained official reports from the case that reveal that on July 13 Levin’s car was found on a remote road. His body was discovered at the bottom of a 30-foot ravine.

Documents from Grants Pass Department of Public Safety indicate that Levin had been dead for days. His body was naked and wedged between two trees.

The report indicated signs of “animal scavenging likely in the form of turkey vultures.”

Authorities used dental records to identify his body, and his death has been ruled accidental.

Police reportedly had to scale a slope and retrieve his body using a rope-and-pulley system.

The unnamed local who discovered his car and his body told DailyMail.com, “It looked like he was trying to take a back route to Grants Pass [where he lived]. But the road he went down was remote and doesn't have any signs. It's easy to get lost, and GPS doesn't work.”

The source went on to say, “His car was pretty banged up and was off a logging trail. I went up on foot, hiking. I wouldn't have driven up there by myself, no way. I think he might have made a few bad decisions.”

The public safety report stated his Fiat was damaged and trapped in a pile of dirt. His pet pug Boo Boo Bear was found dead inside the vehicle.

Levin was a familiar face on TV, including on "Alice," "The Golden Girls," "NYPD Blue," and "Hill Street Blues." He famously played a mohel in the 1993 “Seinfeld” episode “The Bris.”

Apparently a clot went to his heart and killed him.

At least he went quickly and didn't suffer.
Can't imagine being naked and stuck between two trees.

What is a "mohel"

Let's let the Seinfeld gang answer that:

ELAINE A mohel! What the hell is a mohel?

Jerry A mohel is the person who performs the circumcision.

Elaine Where am I going to find a Mohel?

how did that make him famous in just one episode of Seinfeld almost 3 decades ago?

I dunno. Bookman the Library Cop, The Soup Nazi are a couple of other one hit wonders too.

Here is the Mohel

He may or may not be a rabbi. My good friend his a mohel; he’s a urologist— more common than a rabbi.

Did you hear about the near sighted mohel?

He got the sack.

My friend made a wallet out of them.

When you rubbed it, it turned into a suitcase.

Why was he naked?
Why was he wedged between 2 trees?
Was he drunk?
Was he high?
Had he been alone? (other than the dog)
Was he gay? (speaks to bad choices of hook ups)

This story was VERY informative ... NOT!

Apparently, according to another source, his man parts were devoured.

“Why was he naked?
Why was he wedged between 2 trees?”

Missing 411 case?

It happens around here on a regular basis, not fatally usually though. Here’s a good thing to do, turn around if you find yourself on poor roads with no markings in unfamiliar terrain. Don’t keep digging even if the GPS says so.

Reads like someone with Old Timers wondering off.

Determined to get somewhere they think they know.

Who in the world thinks it is a good idea to take a Fiat into the backwoods, anyway?

Gee, who woulda' thunk?

I'm circumcised but I thought the doctor did it.

But then, I'm Methodist. :-)

Many cougars (aka mountain lions) live around Grants Pass, so yours is a logical proposition.

GPS works just fine. If you have the right topo map app. I use Gaia GPS whenever I leave pavement. And I'm in my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
