Heart attack as I recollect. Lynde himself recounted how he was
seriously overweight for many years before slimming down. Coronary
disease got him anyway.

Both causes of death were cited about a year ago, when someone else asked
about Paul Lynde, and the amyl nitrate story was the one in the press
files. There's no need to reinvent the wheel here.

Umm, I think you're making that up or passing on a rumor.
From the Internet Movie Database:
Date of death (details)
9 January 1982, Los Angeles, California, USA. (drowned while intoxicated)
While the IMDB is not an irrefutable source (since it is user-supplied), I've
also read the same cause of death other places. (Yes, you can refute my
word-of-mouth statements too.. But please provide CITATIONS if you have
proof that this was not his cause of death.)

Paul Lynde died of a massive heart attack (he was a very heavy smoker).
And he was very gay.
Matt Ackeret
No. He drowned while intoxicated.. Check the internet movie databse.

As mentioned here more than once, the IMDb's information on this conflicts
with contemporary press reports. Those reports quote police as saying
Lynde was found nude in his bedroom, sprawled on the floor, and that he'd
died from a heart attack brought on by his use of amyl nitrate, a sexual
stimulant.

Lynde, born 6/13/26, in Ohio, never married, exact date of death

torn down) by his sister Helen of (address deleted) Santa Monica, CA.

There were rumors that poppers were a contributing factor. The rumor
goes he died in bed with a trick who just got up and walked out when he
died.

Since you have the death certificate, could you tell me the place of
final disposition? In other words, were his ashes buried/interred at a
cemetery (is so, which one)? Or were they taken home to an address,
scattered, or what?

Usually, depending on the county, or how popular the person is, it can be
anywhere from 1 day, to the "common person's" listing of 2 weeks.

From memory (I don't have one in front of me, and it's been too long!) I
remember spaces on the L.A. County certs that lists mortuary, date of
service, and interment listing.
I hope this helps.

Mount Vernon Ohio...I know it as birthplace of Cooper Industries,
which spun off(exchange offer) its operations in the businesses it
had there as Cooper Cameron recently...(Each share of Cooper Industries
now trading at $50 was swapped for four and a half(split adjusted)

Back in the 70's, Paul Lynde was considered a heterosexual sex symbol by hordes of housefraus who thought he was just a little eccentric, and he received hundreds of marriage proposals thru the mail from adoring female fans. Go figure.

comments come to mind:
1) It can be argued that that's what women really want. Someone who is
funny, entertaining, and sexually non-threatening.
2) The converse wouldn't really be a problem. I can think of any
number of prominent lesbians that I think are funny, entertaining, and,
well, 'hot' - and not just 'hot' in the sense of being a lesbian (and
in the way that that in and of itself is considered a turn-on for
some men).
P.S. There was an episode of "I've Got a Secret" (a zillion years ago) in
which Liberace came on at the beginning of the show and announced that he
had a secret (as was customary on that show for the "special guests" to
do). Years later, we all snicker at that particular episode...

Some of the more common characteristics of Asperger syndrome include:
* Inability to think in abstract ways (eg: puns, jokes, sarcasm, etc)
* Difficulties in empathising with others
* Problems with understanding another person's point of view
* Hampered conversational ability
* Problems with controlling feelings such as anger, depression
and anxiety
* Adherence to routines and schedules, and stress if expected routine
is disrupted
* Inability to manage appropriate social conduct
* Delayed understanding of sexual codes of conduct
* A narrow field of interests. For example a person with Asperger
syndrome may focus on learning all there is to know about
baseball statistics, politics or television shows.
* Anger and aggression when things do not happen as they want
* Sensitivity to criticism
* Eccentricity
* Behaviour varies from mildly unusual to quite aggressive
and difficult

OK. GTK.
Incidentally, something I found interesting/puzzling in the "description"
text for the YouTube vid (referenced upthread) is that L.G.'s birthname
was "Goldstein", but her father's name was "Leo Gore". Odd, that...
Did she take her Mother's name or something at birth, then switch to her
father's name later on?

Leslie Gore has been openly gay since ... at least ... the early 1970s.
I used to work at the dry cleaners in Brentwood (Los Angeles) where she
took her clothes.
The first time she came in (after I started working there) she was
with a rather masculine looking woman ... She gave me her laundry ...
and I walked back towards the woman who owned the dry cleaners ... and
jokingly said: "Oh no. Not Leslie Gore. I was in love with her."
I could see the owner cringe ... and I heard LG's voice right behind
me. She had followed me to ask the owner a question. I walked away
without looking back at her.
As soon as she started walking back to the door ... I returned to the
owner and said: "If the dyke thing didn't ruin my chance at happiness
... my big mouth sure did." I never noticed ... that Miss Gore had
turned and started walking back toward the owner.
I saw the owner cringe again. And I heard LG say: "Don't worry. It
wasn't your big mouth."
She was a doll, though.
