Paul Lynde Facts
Lynde and long-term companion, Bing Davidson were staying at the Drake hotel in San Francisco, California on July 17, 1965. The two went out the next day for a good time and got very drunk. Davidson decided to show Lynde a trick and dangled off the hotel balcony by his fingers. He was slipping and Paul desperately tried to help him in, but Davidson fell to his death. They are buried next to each other in Amity Cemetery in Ohio.

Posthumously "outed" by Boze Hadleigh, who has written extensively about previously closeted Hollywood actors/actresses.

Told his agent shortly before his death that he had given up cigarettes and alcohol.
