In the early morning hours of September 4th, 1993, Hervé Villechaize’s common-law wife found his dead body laying on their patio. He had written a suicide note and proceeded to his backyard with a tape recorder. He turned on the tape recorder and spoke, “Kathy, I can’t live like this anymore. I’ve always been a proud man and always wanted to make you proud of me. You know you made me feel like a giant and that’s how I want you to remember me…I’m doing what I have to do…I want everything to go to Kathy…I want everyone to know that I love them.” In a sitting position, Hervé leaned back against a sliding glass patio door, placed a pillow against his chest and then fired a pistol into the pillow, taking his own life. He was 50 years old.
