LOS ANGELES — “Leave It to Beaver” star Tony Dow is not dead, according to his family members.
Dow’s death was widely reported Tuesday morning, including in the L.A. Times, until his wife and son told CBS and Fox, respectively, that Dow was still alive. Both said that the famed actor was in hospice, with his son Christopher telling Fox that his father was “in his last hours.”
“This is a difficult time,” Christopher Dow told Fox. “Yes he is still alive but in his last hours. Under hospice care.”
