Earlier today, it was confirmed that Tony was dead, but he is still alive. According to a report by ABC reporter George Pennacchio, the wife of the man mistakenly reported his death to his management this morning.
He is, in fact, still alive, even though his wife thought he had died. According to Deadline, he is reported to be near death. Pennacchio made a statement on Facebook.
Tony Dow is still alive. I had a conversation with his wife, Lauren. She is understandably distraught and grief-stricken about what’s been going on with Tony’s health battle these past months. He’s been in hospice care at their home, and based on some health issues overnight, Lauren inferred that Tony had passed away to some people close to her and the word quickly spread. Lauren admits she’s been “a little fuzzy” these days—understandable.
She told me she now feels “foolish” about what has transpired since his death has been reported around the world. She also told me, through her pain, “it is of my own doing.” I told her we know it’s been a very stressful time and people understand overwhelming grief. Lauren says she “loves and adores” her husband of 42 years with all of her heart.
While she did say he passed, she now understands the miscommunication and is sorry for causing a commotion in this challenging time.
The actor, who is 77, is best known for his role in Leave It To Beaver, but he has also appeared on other shows and worked behind-the-scenes. He was an acclaimed sculptor after he died.
