7. How did Lord Buckley die?
What we know for sure is that Lord Buckley died at 7:30 PM on November 12, 1960 at Columbus Hospital in New York City. His death certificate lists "Natural Causes" as the cause of death. But, like most mythic characters, there are many theories about the real cause of his death. Some have claimed that he was harrassed night and day by the police after he lost his Cabaret Card and the stress of this caused him to have a stroke. Others have suggested that he was mysteriously poisoned. And still others assert that he was just so heavy that he fell off the planet. So, like many aspects of Lord Buckley's life, reality is a hall of mirrors and the truth depends on which reflection you decide is the right one. |
