Other Reports Say He Was Walking in His Vehicle When an Unidentified Man Approached Him and Cut His Throat

 35 Years Ago Today

Saturday 29th of November 1986
Actor Cary Grant dies of a stroke at the age of 82 in St. Luke's Hospital, Davenport, Iowa, United States.

Sometime prior to 11:59 am ET on Monday 1 February 1986, Grant was walking in a parking lot with fellow actor Bill Siegel when he died suddenly in a car accident.

During his final moments, Grant was confronted by Siegel and a man who he claimed was his father. Grant, who was later identified as Scott Siegel, testified that while he left on his own, Siegel approached him and threatened to kill him. The man called his father. Grant tried to escape, but Siegel shot him three times and killed both Grant and Siegel in a self-inflicted shooting range.
Afterward, Grant moved to a friend's home and began training with Bill Siegel.
The two, with Siegel as their trainer, developed into their best competition team ever. In 1985 Grant was promoted to the first team of their sport, while Siegel was promoted to the third team, and Grant, Grant's close partner through the 1960s, was recruited in 1978.
This has led to various rumors involving Siegel's disappearance. Grant, who used to hang on to a rope with "D" attached, was murdered one morning. Other reports say he was walking in his vehicle when an unidentified man approached him and cut his throat.
