Unfortunately, I fear that my curiosity may have changed that.
I read that that's exactly how he died.

I always liked his character of Tyrone F. Horneigh (the dirty old man who was always giving Ruth Buzzi the business on the park bench; his name was never said on the show because the censors didn't like how it was pronounced -- "horny.")
