Janssen dies

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UPI) — Screen actor-TV star David Janssen died of a massive heart attack at his Malibu Beach home today. He was 48. A family spokesman said the dark-haired star of the TV series, "The Fugitive" and, more recently, "Harry O," suffered a coronary attack about 4 a.m. and was taken to Santa Monica [guess: emergency] hospital where he was pronounced dead. His long-time friend and fellow actor, Stuart Whitman, was among the first to know of his death this morning when he drove past the Janssen's beach home at 4:30 a.m. to find paramedic and fire trucks parked at the house.
