Death
In April 1990, Convy was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after collapsing while visiting his mother. It was there that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and was given a short time to live, resulting in the relinquishing of his planned Match Game 90 role. After seeking many treatments from several hospitals, Convy died from the tumor on July 15, 1991, 8 days before what would have been his 58th birthday. His remains are buried in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.

Famous quotes containing the word death:

—Hervé Guibert (1955–1991)
“Eyes spiritualised by death can judge,
I cannot, but I am not content.”

For men to take their exits.”
