David Janssen died on February 13th, 1980, from a sudden heart attack at his Malibu home at the age of 49. Unfounded speculation holds that Janssen succumbed to alcoholism, a problem that plagued him most of his adult life. There were even unfounded rumors about drug use. However, a much more reasonable explanation for Janssen's sudden demise is that this intense, dedicated, determined actor simply worked himself to death.
