Death
Stevenson was recovering from bladder cancer surgery in a Los Angeles hospital on February 15, 1996, when he suffered a fatal heart attack.
Stevenson is interred in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles. He was survived by his wife Ginny and daughter Lindsey - daughter Jennifer, and son Jeff MacGregor (both from previous marriages).
Coincidentally, Stevenson died only one day before Roger Bowen died; Bowen portrayed the original Colonel Henry Blake in the 1970 movie M*A*S*H.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken. They command the world’s sympathy. But there are also discreditable anguishes, no less excruciating than the others, but of which the sufferer dare not, cannot speak. The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Oh Death he is a little man,
And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
