Re: Nimoy was one cool customer but one thing I don't get!
Incidentally, Mayfield's house was also the very same place they shot (no pun intended) the pool scene in "Magnum Force", where a youthful Suzanne Somers exposes her own hardware just before that rogue cop opens fire on them all.
It makes sense too, because Universal was involved and they were both produced in 1973.

This was one of his best lines. He counters Columbo's questions with ones of his own. Columbo says, "Gee, you ask tough questions." Mayfield gives a big smile and says, "So does a jury."
Of course he died! Or else he would tell Columbo about "some guy that was waiting in my apt. and pumped me full of morphine". If he hadn't died they would have mentioned it. No lose ends.
