Re: Murder By The Book

According to IMDB she and another actor were shot leaving a class they were teaching, killers were never caught.

Re: Murder By The Book

Another "Columbo" murder victim who was murdered in real life, is Sal Mineo ("A Case Of Immunity").

Re: Murder By The Book

Sal Mineo, who played the naive fall guy 'Habib' who was killed by Hassan in 'A Case Of Immunity' was also murdered in real life near his apartment complex in LA. It was apparently a botched robbery attempt (mugging). It happened not long after the episode aired (within a year or two I think).

Re: Re: Murder By The Book

Sal Mineo aswell? oh no, he's so cool. this is awful.
