Death
McKimson died on September 29, 1977, from a massive heart attack while eating lunch with Friz Freleng and David H. DePatie. A few days earlier, he was given a clean bill of health during a physical, and his doctor suggested his family history (his father lived to be 100) would allow him to live many more years.
