Wacky Death: # 879



Jerome Irving Rodale, an American pioneer of organic farming, died of a heart attack while being interviewed on the Dick Cavett Show in 1971. During the intervew Rodale was seen to close his eyes and slump down into his seat. Cavett quipped "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?", before realizing the man was stone dead. The show with Mr. Rodale's death was never broadcast.
