Mel Blanc died because he fell out of a bed!

Seriously. He'd smoked for many years, and in 1989 went into the hospital to get a bad cough checked out. Some orderly forgot to put the bars up on his bed, and he accidentally rolled out and broke his femur when he hit the floor.

Breaking his femur caused a fat embolism (an embolism that is released into the brain due to trauma from burns or fracturing a long bone), which caused a stroke, and he died.

Bugs Bunny died because an orderly didn't put a bed bar in place.

Well I hope his family sued the ass off that hospital, or at least, the parties responsible. Indirectly causing the death of one of the most legendary performers who ever lived.

And I always thought Mel died from heart disease. I find it shocking that he smoked, because I would think he'd be protective of his voice.
