Death
In addition to the feature film work listed above, Sears also began directing television shows on the side. He was pushing himself too hard, however, and neglecting his health. On Saturday, November 30, 1957, while preparing for his next film at his office at Columbia Pictures, Sears suffered a fatal cerebral hemorrhage of a communicating artery of the Circle of Willis. Sears left eight feaure films completed at his death, which were posthumously released.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“How I envy you death;
what could death bring,
more black, more set with sparks
to slay, to affright,
than the memory of those first violets.”

“I used to think of death ... like I suppose soldiers think of it: it was a possible thing that I could well avoid by my skill.”
