We're told the actor died suddenly Saturday due to complications from surgery.

RIP, Bill. His sniveling, wanna-be spy in True Lies was fantastic.

Fish Heads.

[EvilCapitalist]

He played Morgan Earp in the movie Tombstone.

[Redcitizen]

In heart surgery the greatest risk for stroke comes from perfusion AKA the bypass machine, where the blood leaves your body to get oxygenated, and then returns. An embolism or a clot can originate there and cause stroke.

I dont know when his surgery was, but he probably never woke up and the family chose to stop life support if the injury was devasting.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m guessing bypass surgery.

[Calvin Locke]

He was involved in that? (mostly known as one of Bill Mumy’s alter ego creations) That is/was Dr. Demento’s #1 requested video, maybe even the song.

[tuffydoodle]

Yes, you can see him walking around and smoking a cigarette in it. Tight skinny pants.

A man goes in for surgery and come out dead. What was he in for?

LIFE?

RIP Mr. Paxton, I enjoyed your work. One of the few hollywood people to have a long and successful marriage, 30 years, prayers for his family.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

That’s good. I think (actually, I know) that my wife is a lot more worried than I am. That’s only fair, since I was the worried one when she had surgery several years ago.

[tuffydoodle]

You can see him clearly at 1:56 in the video.

[IronJack]

Talented, versatile actor. I remember him in "True Lies," as the cheesy would-be seducer of Jamie Lee Curtis, Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie wife. Glib, oily, a caricature. But he could also play the serious role, as in "Apollo 13" and "Tombstone." And he seemed like a likeable guy.

Sorry to see him go. The lights of Hollywood are getting pretty dim these days.

[mware]

Played one of the astronauts in Apollo 13.

A woman friend I know was so insistent on her husband getting medical screening tests for health. He has a gastric scope and somehow they clipped a blood vessel. After the procedure in the bed he told her he felt extremely dizzy and passed out and then away. What a shame as they were expecting many years of enjoying retirement. Message to self-— avoid the hospital if at all possible.

Never saw Twister?

[who knows what evil?]

A hospital is one of the most dangerous places on earth.

That's because Keith is really a gargoyle.
