DAVID GRAF – HEART ATTACK

David Graf drew laughs as Sgt. Tackleberry in the comedy film Police Academy. He also built a reputation as the funny man in television through shows such as The A-Team, The Dukes of Hazzard, M*A*S*H, and Hardcastle and McCormick. He struggled as an actor, but he won with the help of a celebrity player, Patty Duke, $10,000 on The $10,000 Pyramid (1973) and later on played against Duke.

In April 2001, Graf lost against a heart attack while attending a family wedding. It was not made known if he had heart disease or underwent treatment beforehand; however, his family has a history of heart problems, which concludes many people to think that he genetically has it. Given his filmography, it is unlikely that Graf faced financial woes or had trouble paying his dues. He sure has numerous investments for his family. At the time of his demise, he was survived by his wife Kathryn and their two sons.
