Paul Lynde was a gifted voice artist with Hanna-Barbara, game show panelist, and could shine in both comedic and dramatic roles as an actor. He was perhaps best known for being a character actor with a distinct snarky and campy persona. He's also known among the gay community as one of the first and most successful openly gay comedians. While he remained in the closet for the majority of his life, he eventually would let go of his fears and would become a gay icon of sorts.

Lynde was well known for his roles as the bumbling father Harry MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie and for being a regular center square panelist on the hit game show Hollywood Squares. But the role he is most often associated with is that of Uncle Arthur on Bewitched.

On January 10, 1982, Lynde was found dead in his Beverly Hills home by his friend Paul Barresi after failing to attend a birthday party and couldn't be reached by phone. He was only 55 years old when he passed away.

The coroner's report officially ruled Lynde's death as caused by a heart attack, but recent revelations have shed a bit more light on that. Join us as we take a look at what might have brought about his death while highlighting some of Lynde's contributions to the world of entertainment.
